Using the Business Process Model and Notation for Modeling Enterprise Integration Patterns
This work addresses the integration of enterprise applications for practitioners by providing a mapping between two de-facto standards, but it appears incremental as it focuses on translation rather than new solutions.
The paper tackled the problem of modeling Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIP) by translating their integration semantics and conceptual syntax into the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), a standard for business process modeling.
Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIP) are a collection of widely used stencils for integrating enterprise applications and business processes. These patterns represent a "de-facto" standard reference for design decisions when integrating enterprise applications. For each of these patterns we present the integration semantics (model) and the conceptual translation (syntax) to the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), which is a "de-facto" standard for modelling business process semantics and their runtime behavior.
