Agenda
– how to get mutual understanding “what does the university do”? (or the software)
– internationalization of process descriptions
– interface practice (web services, ETL …)
– example: HISinOne– business models for cooperations

Situation and challenge
• many activities in Europe towards “new software for university management”
• is it possible to combine/integrate elements of these developments?
![Page 5: A process oriented approach towards open university ...A process oriented approach towards open university management software EUNIS 2010 Dr. Uwe Hübner](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022041809/5e56d25567894236ef76a1f8/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Is SOA the answer?
• each system brings own infrastructure:
– technology, database and web services
– mechanisms for customization and maintenance (upgrades …)
– complexity ++
– performance --

First steps
• understand business processes– actors, products ...
• find their mappings in the software– workflows, dialogs, objects ...

Process descriptions
• BPMN – Business Process Modeling Notation 2.0
• UML – Unified Modeling Language 2.0astah
• … Manufacturer-specific

Getting the code pieces together
• important: identify process chains with clean and „slim“ interfaces
• unidirectional information flow (if possible)
• frequency and the initiating event – source process triggers transfer– periodically at fixed times
• interworking options: – Web services– ETL– dedicated exports/imports

Business models for cooperations
• sustainability of the developments• open source/community source• fair participation in funding for future
developments and continued service

Finally…
• Useful cooperations require more than sharing code
• share the understanding of the involved processes
