Summary
The SPE Component coordinates the routing of all messages related to the business logic embodied by a virtual factory. It deals with the enactment of the control flow (waiting for messages, sending messages, decisions, parallel execution, script tasks) realizing certain aspects of the business logic and provides a flexible and extensible way of monitoring and manipulating the enactment of the business logic.
In order to allow for simple and continuous improvement and innovation of a Virtual Factory environment, five design decisions have been taken:
• Reduced core: deal only with execution, not with data source/user/rule management.
• Service-oriented, supervisor based design.
• Process description language agnostic execution.
• Explicit instance spawning.
• Attached Script Tasks.
All these design decision have been taken independent of the selection of a particular process engine, with the intention of allowing for the replacement of core components, e.g. the process engine itself, to provide a sustainable framework for companies / researchers to adapt the system to their own needs or preferences.
