Building Workflow Applications with StonePath
Sunday - Jul 24 9:00 AM CDT - Pecan
Stonepath is a workflow modeling methodology with its roots in a long-running Java project at the U.S. State Department. Starting with techniques for deriving requirements/user stories from your users, user interface patterns, state-and-task based workflow modeling, and some domain modeling ideas, you can build comprehensive 'Enterprise' applications for managing aspects of workflow and group coordination.
In this session we will look at the elements of StonePath. We will work through an example application, modeling the flow of various kinds of work through an example 'back office' application, and look at several real-world applications based on these ideas.
