Abstract

New modeling approaches appeared in the last decade based on the premise that process structures in data-intensive landscapes are pushed by data-driven events. However, since emergent approaches as artifact-centered, data-driven, product-based and document-based modeling cover reduced subsets of all data-related needs, they have a limited practical impact [13]. This work structures the set of requirements to model responsive data-intensive systems, studies the emergent object-centered approaches to retrieve a set of principles and, finally, defines a solution direction, centered in expressive object models and in model transformations, for the support of the introduced principles.
