Abstract
Process management techniques using a representation state transfer architecture include, for example, a method of managing a given process in a data-centric manner in a client/server environment, comprising at least one client and at least one server. In an exemplary method, the server obtains from the client at least one request associated with the given process. In response to the request obtained from the client, the server generates an entity, wherein the generated entity is represented in terms of a data model and a lifecycle model associated therewith, wherein the lifecycle model comprises states and state transitions with each transition caused by one or more activities in the given process, and wherein the given process is represented as a collection of communicating entities. The server sends a response to the at least one request to the client, wherein the response is based at least in part on the generated entity.
