Elixir: an ideal language to develop a BPMS? (crosspost:http://elixirforum.com/t/elixir-and-bpm/847)

[Stefan Houtzager]

Just reading an interesting document wherein elixir takes an important place http://arxiv.org/pdf/1601.05976.pdf5 . BPM (business process management), for those who never heard of it, is a sort of Model Driven Development; in BPM you model a workflow / process mostly visual and use this model for execution. So the process that was hidden in your code becomes visible and maintainable for business specialists (I mean specialists that do not code). It can be used together with other MDD parts like BRM (business rules management). Here the rules are extracted out of the code. Even the screen / form builder where you visually compose your forms is a form of MDD. You can choose to create executable models (for example an xml or json that can be interpreted by your code), generate code based on your model or choose a mix. I prefer executable models. Here a company that did a lot of research which names key advantages: https://www.mendix.com/blog/the-power-of-mendix/4 . The paper about bpm/elixir only mentions code-generation, I would like to stress the preference for a model interpreter. Some web-based MDD frameworks / libraries / tools would definately add to a compelling / competitive elixir development environment.

did you see the https://github.com/spawnproc/bpe ?
https://github.com/slashdotdash/commanded -> also good for long process

[Stefan Houtzager]

Yes, I saw it. What I'm building is based on the bpmn2.0 standard and dmn for the rules. Have a look at my linkedin profile for some screenshots if you're interested.

I saw, really really cool.
we made an interesting monad to model business to be used with CQRS/ES, but in a pure environment.
also a process manager, using the FSM lib can be piped there, maybe it could help to build pure functional BPM and deploy them in
real gen-servers ;) afterwards. Also for creating dynamic UI's
