Business Process as a Service (BPaaS): The BPaaS Design Environment

This paper introduces the project idea of Business Processes as a Services (BPaaS) that is worked out in the H2020 pro ject CloudSocket. Concept models and semantics are used to align domain specific business processes with executable workflows that are deployed and in production in a multi-cloud environment. The Business Process Management System Paradigm (BPMS) is requesting the functional capabilities of the so-ca lled BPaaS Environments (i) design, (ii) allocation, (iii) execution and (iv) e valuation, which technically compose the CloudSocket Broker platform. This paper i ntroduces first findings of aligning customers’ business needs with BPaaS clo ud offerings using a model-based approach.
