To Author or Not to Author that is the question

It has been an interesting week. Packt Publishing out of the blue asked if I would be interested in authoring a book on Apache Camel targeted towards more tech manager and architect types. I have admit to having declined the opportunity in part because I’ve promised to put some presentations together of the UKOUG Middleware Special Interest Group (SIG), but also there are a number of Apache Camel books already out there including the one I technically reviewed for Packt (Apache Camel Developer’s Cookbook) co-authored by someone I have worked with in the past.

It did promote some thoughts about book authoring, and currently Packt have a gap in their coverage of the technologies that underpin JBoss Fuse, namely Apache ZooKeeper (which also underpins aspects of Hadoop and many others) which would make for an interesting project. Once we’ve got the SIG activities done perhaps something worth coming back to.

SeeWhy for jBPM video demo

SeeWhy for jBPM now has three videos that have been put together that illustrate SeeWhy what it is, and what can be done. Although the videos are aimed at jBPM they’re just as applicable to any BPM solution, not just jBPM. The videos also give some sense as to what SeeWhy has the potential to be able to do.

The videos are freely available from Google, and higher res versions that can be downloaded from the SeeWhy website. With the higher resolution versions you can see in detail what is being done.

Part 1 – Introduction to SeeWhy for jBPM

Part 2 – Business Activity Monitoring

 

Part 3 – Event Driven Business Intelligence

  SeeWhy for JBoss jBPM is the latest evolution in the integration between jBPM which forms a crucial element in the orchestration of JBoss’ SOA (Service Orientated Architecture) stack.  We’ve produced some video clips complete with commentary together that show the core parts of the SeWhy for JBoss jBPM along with looking at SeeWhy in the broader context of BI (Business Intelligence) and BAM (Business Activity Monitoring). The SeeWhy page here has both low res streaming versions of the videos and downloadable high res versions.

If you’re interested in work flow and how you can monitor and measure its activity both in terms of IT operational performance and in the business context then the three clips will be ten minutes well spent.

real-life jBPM proof of concept using SeeWhy

Jorrem Barrez’s blog has a brilliant demo (video and slides) of a proof of concept that presents JBoss jBPM (JBoss’ Business Process Management tool) and SeeWhy being used to provide a BAM (Business Activity Monitoring) capability for jBPM (Small steps with big feet » Blog Archive » Some real-life jBPM action: PoC jBPM Orchestration). Jorrem appears to have worked version 3.2 of SeeWhy and taken advantage of the jBPM Integration Guide. Its pleasing to see that they thought it was well documented, the good news is that his proof of concept will come together even more easily with some of the forthcoming features.

Seewhy for JBoss jBPM

With the big push at SeeWhy to get Version 3.4 out of the door coming to an end, I’m expecting to get time to finalise SeeWhy for JBoss jBPM – a BAM solution for JBoss jBPM (JBoss’ Business Process Management tool which is also used to provide orchestration of the JBoss SOA platform) using the SeeWhy realtime BI product. The core of this has been largely finished for some time, as we demo’d it in Orlando for JBoss World but the production quality finishing and the final piece of functionality – providing the closed loop capabilities such that SeeWhy can start new jBPM processes or get existing processes to resume had been held up.  Unfortunately trying to get a good grip on this and the threading implications hasn’t been so straight forward giving the limited amount and quality of documentation (for example javadoc for jBPM is very sparse) and example code available. Although I am very pleased with the quality of documentation that the next generation of jBPM is likely to have having seen the PVM (Process Virtual Machine) source code for its first release.

I had the chance to have a chat with Tom Baeyens, the lead for JBoss’ jBPM development programme who has a blog at Process Developments.  He has recently blogged, giving SeeWhy a little mention as a result of our conversation.

We’re back from JBoss World in Orlando now – and a few pictures of the trip can be found at Flickr: JBoss World Orlando.  A very busy trip indeed with only an hour in the sunshine at the end of the conference before heading back to the airport.  For SeeWhy initial impressions are that the conference was a success, but it is still early days to really tell.  Thankyou to all who came to see our stand and talk about Event Driven BI and the new jBPM BAM solution. Plus a special thanks to David Barnes at Packt publishing and Matt Cumberlidge the brilliant author of the book  Business Process Management with JBoss jBPM.

JBoss jBPM

Well I got my copy of Matt’s book today, and had a look through – and I can say that it looks very good – if you want to get an idea of what BPM can offer without any licensing costs then this book with a download of jBPM is perfect. 

I can’t resist taking two quotes though. The first is from About the author

I’d like to thank Phil Wilkins from SeeWhy for going way beyond the call of duty in helping me.

and from the closing section about using SeeWhy with jBPM:

There is a great deal to discover and put to use in the SeeWhy business intelligence platform, and have merely scratched the surface of what’s possible:we could write a whole book about it.

Any, congratulations to Matt for a great book.  The book can be found at Amazon here.

As part of the work I do for SeeWhy I’ve been providing some help to the author Matt Cumberlidge who is writing a book on JBoss’ JBPM which will include details on SeeWhy (and how SeeWhy integrates with jBPM).  Matt has just kindly send us a link to the publishers site for the book which can be found at Business Process Management with JBoss jBPM. The book is expected out late July or August.
