Digital transformation has been changing the economic environment of enterprises in recent years. To remain competitive, they rely on an extensible software architecture, flexible workflow execution, and automated decision management. The concepts of service-oriented architectures (SOA), business process management (BPM), and business rules management (BRM) provide an adequate, yet isolated means of addressing many of these requirements. The paper aims to discuss these issues.,This study adapts from established research frameworks to structure the current state of research on the integration of SOA, BPM and BRM. The authors highlight the current research scope, point to disregarded topics and sketch out multidisciplinary research approaches.,While the three concepts are often discussed only in isolation or pairwise, approaches that integrate them are scarce. Against this backdrop, this study defines three types of research opportunities and identifies several directions for future research that should be explored from a technological as well as organizational perspective. Given the breadth of open questions, the authors present sources for each area of our research framework, which can serve as starting points for future investigations.,Except for well-established support for separate tasks and technologies, there is a lack of integrated standards, methods and platforms, which for example enable integrated decision-making across BPM and SOA.,Our contribution builds on established frameworks and clearly shows that the discussion on the integration of SOA, BPM and BRM cannot yet be regarded as sufficient. The research agenda highlights which areas explicitly benefit from a more precise consideration.

SOA,BPM和BRM集成的未来研究方向

近年来,数字化转型一直在改变企业的经济环境。为了保持竞争力,他们依靠可扩展的软件体系结构,灵活的工作流执行和自动决策管理。面向服务的体系结构(SOA),业务流程管理(BPM)和业务规则管理(BRM)的概念为解决其中许多需求提供了充分而又孤立的方法。本文旨在讨论这些问题。本研究采用已建立的研究框架,以构建有关SOA,BPM和BRM集成的研究现状。作者强调了当前的研究范围,指出了被忽视的话题,并勾勒出了多学科的研究方法。尽管经常仅以孤立或成对的方式讨论这三个概念,整合它们的方法很少。在此背景下,本研究定义了三种研究机会,并确定了应从技术和组织角度探讨的未来研究的几个方向。鉴于悬而未决的问题的广度,作者提供了我们研究框架各个领域的资料,可以作为未来研究的起点。除了为单独的任务和技术提供完善的支持外,还缺乏综合标准,方法和平台,例如使跨BPM和SOA的集成决策成为可能。我们的贡献是建立在已建立的框架之上的,并且清楚地表明,关于SOA,BPM和BRM集成的讨论尚不足够。
