| Name | Nehemiah |
| Result type | Tool (enactment engine) |
| Description/functionality |
- Nehemiah is a process execution engine that is able to execute cross-organisational business processes (CBPs) modelled with the methodology developed in ATHENA A2. Nehemiah directly depends on the Maestro modelling tool, i.e. CBPs modelled in Maestro are deployed directly to the Nehemiah repository.
- To execute a CBP each partner has to deploy his private process, the view processes from all partners participating in the CBP, and the CBP. CBPs are executed without a central process engine. Therefore the process enactment engines resp. infrastructures of the different partners have to talk to each other. Nehemiah uses Gabriel and Johnson to send /receive messages to / from other partners. Therefore it can talk to any process engine that provides a Web service based interface.
- Nehemiah also provides simulation functionality that can be used to simulate the CBP modelled in Maestro before actually deploying it for execution.
