Domain Based Identification and Modelling of Business Component Applications

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 2798))

Abstract

This paper presents a process for the design of domain specific business component applications to enforce the use of component based software technologies. Starting from the notion that the direct mapping of business processes to business components often leads to inadequate results, a methodology for identifying and refining business components based on the functional decomposition of an application domain will be presented. The usability of the resulting process will be shown with the example of a concept for strategic supply chain development, which extends the traditional frame of reference in strategic sourcing from a supplier-centric to a supply-chain-scope including the dynamic modelling of strategic supply-chains.
