Abstract

The Blockchain technology is currently considered as a major paradigm shift in software architectures and applications. Indeed, it enables the automation of business worflows, using smart contracts, and hence the collaboration between trustless entities, without having to rely on any centralized or third parties. In this context, the automated generation of smart contracts, from high level business process models, has recently received increased interests within the research community. In this paper, we introduce the Blockchain Studio framework, which is a fork of Caterpillar, and whose objective is to enable the generation and automation of role-based business workflows on Ethereum based blockchains. The architecture and implementation of Blockchain Studio are firstly discussed, followed by the analysis of the achieved benefits on a practical use case related to the management of vehicles' life-cycles and data history. Various research challenges and opportunities are then highlighted.

区块链工作室:基于角色的业务工作流管理系统

区块链技术目前被认为是软件架构和应用程序的重大范式转变。事实上，它可以使用智能合约实现业务工作流的自动化，从而在不受信任的实体之间进行协作，而无需依赖任何集中的或第三方。在这种情况下，从高级业务流程模型自动生成智能合约，最近在研究社区中受到了越来越多的关注。在本文中，我们介绍了区块链工作室框架，它是卡特彼勒的一个分支，其目标是在基于以太坊的区块链上生成和自动化基于角色的业务工作流。首先讨论了区块链工作室的架构和实现，然后分析了与车辆生命周期和数据历史管理相关的实际用例的实现收益。然后强调了各种研究挑战和机遇。
