How can I obtain access to try using this matrix?

A simplistic process which will engage all stakeholders effectively to give inputs in system formation. Great ! will try it out at work..

Hi Doug,

Just came across this blog while I was googling for designing and really liked the simplicity of this approach.

Nice little app you have here. Very useful for looking at data flow from a different perspective…much more organized than what I’m used to…Thank you very much!

This example is intended to show how a data flow diagram generated using the decomposition matrix can help determine the appropriate decomposition of services for a service-oriented architecture. Some of the external entities/databases are the legacy systems mentioned as the inputs near the beginning of the original blog entry. Other external entities related to the outputs. I only showed some generic examples since they would vary based the needs of the particular business. My intent was to show enough of the possible outputs to create a useful example.

Bit confusing. Nothing like exteral entities was discussed and the electronic databases was also discussed.

Comment on Recent Business Process Modeling Books by Darren Riley

Hello ,

Thanks for the review. I just recently bought this book and gave it a full read. Find it very enlightening in terms of tiebacks between BPEL and SOA. Not sure if it was intending to be a book to educate on BPMN in any case and the authors seems to have had their hands tied in terms of the Oracle Toolset as a reference point.

Recommend that people interested in understanding BPEL & SOA concepts go for it.
I fail to see why people who review books almost always expect the authors to boil the ocean and talk about Everything which is a practical impossibility in a vast topic like this…

Regards

Part 1 and 2 have been modified from the original postings. This is because I changed the code in two ways. First, gateways now appear in the diagrams. Second, the code now properly identifies processes and allows you to decompose those processes. The examples needed to be changed to match the changes in the code.
