Description

Distributed business component computing--the assembling of business components into electronic business processes, which interact via the Internet--caters to a new breed of enterprise systems that are flexible, relatively easy to maintain and upgrade to accommodate new business processes, and relatively simple to integrate with other enterprise systems. Companies with unwieldy, large, and heterogeneous inherited information systems--known as legacy systems--find it extremely difficult to align their old systems with novel business processes. Legacy systems are not only tightly intertwined with existing business processes and procedures but also have a brittle architecture after years of ad-hoc fixes and offer limited openness to other systems. In this book, Willem-Jan van den Heuvel provides a methodological framework that offers pragmatic techniques for aligning component-based business processes and legacy systems.

Van den Heuvel's methodology is based on three building blocks: reverse engineering, which allows legacy systems to be componentized; forward engineering, which derives a set of business components from requirements of the new business processes; and alignment of new business processes and componentized legacy systems. Van den Heuvel provides a theoretical foundation for these, with chapters that discuss component-based development, introduce a case study that is used throughout the book to illustrate the methodology, and assess methods and technologies for legacy integration, component adaptation, and process alignment. He describes the methodological framework itself and its techniques to align new business processes with legacy systems by adopting a meet-in-the-middle strategy. Drawing on topics from a wide range of disciplines, including component-based development, distributed computing, business process modeling, and others, Aligning Modern Business Processes and Legacy Systems offers theoretically grounded practical methodology that has been explored and tested in a variety of experiments as well as some real-world projects.

Willem-Jan van den Heuvel is Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Tilburg University.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

**描述**

分散式商業元件計算——將商業元件組合成電子商務流程，這些流程通過互聯網進行互動——滿足了一種新型企業系統的需求，這些系統靈活、相對容易維護和升級，以適應新的商業流程，並且相對簡單地與其他企業系統集成。擁有笨重、大型和異構的遺留資訊系統的公司（稱為遺留系統）發現，將其舊系統與新穎的商業流程對齊極為困難。遺留系統不僅與現有的商業流程和程序緊密相連，而且在經過多年的臨時修復後，架構變得脆弱，對其他系統的開放性有限。在本書中，Willem-Jan van den Heuvel 提供了一個方法論框架，提供了對齊基於元件的商業流程和遺留系統的實用技術。

Van den Heuvel 的方法論基於三個構建塊：逆向工程，這使得遺留系統可以元件化；前向工程，這從新商業流程的需求中導出一組商業元件；以及新商業流程與元件化遺留系統的對齊。Van den Heuvel 為這些提供了理論基礎，章節討論了基於元件的開發，介紹了一個在整本書中使用的案例研究以說明該方法論，並評估了遺留集成、元件適應和流程對齊的方法和技術。他描述了方法論框架本身及其技術，通過採用中間會合策略來對齊新商業流程與遺留系統。該書涵蓋了來自多個學科的主題，包括基於元件的開發、分散式計算、商業流程建模等，《對齊現代商業流程與遺留系統》提供了理論基礎的實用方法論，這些方法論已在各種實驗和一些現實世界的項目中進行探索和測試。

Willem-Jan van den Heuvel 是蒂爾堡大學計算機科學系的副教授。
