- 15. Motivation: Why Antipatterns Context Motivation • Antipatterns: - From wrong design decisions to poor solutions • Poor solutions result: Related Work Approach - bad quality of service (QoS) - less maintainability, evolvability etc. • Detect antipatterns within processes Experiments • Improve design and QoS Conclusion September 10, 2013 Palma et al. | Detection of Process Antipatterns: An BPEL Perspective 5 of 21
- 16. Motivation: Why BPEL ? Context Motivation Related Work • BPEL processes are off-the-shelf entities, BPMN is more documentation related - transition often broken, not symmetric • Ideologically, antipatterns in BPMN and BPEL processes represents same semantics, but some syntactic differences exist • Antipatterns in models (BPMN) already got much attention in the literature: - target audience: business analysts Approach Experiments Conclusion September 10, 2013 • Conceptual mismatch between BPMN and BPEL - differ in control flow support, e.g., loops, splits, joins, etc. • Transformation errors and early design errors: - translation, adaptation, and–or implementation errors - errors by business analysts Palma et al. | Detection of Process Antipatterns: An BPEL Perspective 6 of 21

(2006) and Stirna et al. (2009): 6 process patterns and 13 process antipatterns - Koehler and Vanhatalo (2007): 14 structural antipatterns in process models - Trcka et al. (2009): formalized 9 process antipatterns using temporal logic Detection of Model Antipatterns: - Gruhn and Laue (2010): heuristic-based approach for discovering problems in BPMs - Laue and Awad (2010): visually represented process antipatterns Process Patterns: - Wohed et al. (2002): analysed BPEL4WS based on workflow and communication patterns - Aalst et al. (2003): discussed 26 control flow, branching-synchronization, and structural patterns Palma et al. | Detection of Process Antipatterns: An BPEL Perspective 7 of 21
- 19. Related Work (2/2) Identified gaps from the literature: Context Motivation Related Work Approach Experiments - Antipatterns and detection approaches were considered only for BPMN models - No other formal specifications for process antipatterns except the one by Trcka et al. (2009) - Various quality aspects (e.g., availability or response time of Web services) were not considered - No automatic detection approach for BPEL process antipatterns until now Conclusion September 10, 2013 Palma et al. | Detection of Process Antipatterns: An BPEL Perspective 8 of 21

Approach (3/5): Process Transform Context Motivation • Process transformation (more abstract and simplified) (a) from the original BPEL to a simplified BPEL Related Work Approach Experiments (b) from the simplified BPEL to a generic model • Goal of this transformation is to ease: - implementation of the rules - further analysis of the processes Conclusion September 10, 2013 Palma et al. | Detection of Process Antipatterns: An BPEL Perspective 12 of 21
