An innovative, intuitive, and scaling methodology to make XML executable is the core of Montages' technology offer. UML diagrams are used to model both the structure of XML documents and to give their execution behavior.
The idea is simple, but new: use the nesting nodes of UML diagrams to match the structure of XML documents, and attach execution behavior to these documents by means of normal UML state and activity diagrams.
The structure of the XML document is reused as structure of the resulting computation, and intermediate steps are stored directly in the nodes of the document. Like this Montages' executable XML documents contain the full state of their execution, and they can travel from one location to the next in the middle of their execution.
Examples of such mobile XML processes are
- reporting and controlling tasks, which travel from one subsidiary of an enterprise to the next, doing autonomous calculations locally and avoiding to move sensible data physically,
- b2b agents, which move from business partner to business partner requesting interactively information, which is otherwise not available to the fully automated systems, optimizing collaboration scenarios, and
- very long term processes, such as live insurance contracts, which must move from location to location because their 10 years ++ live span is much longer than the live span of the physical systems.
The advantages of Montages distributed architecture in combination with such languages are further highlighted under "Distributed languages and processes" [link]
