Central control and local flexibility

Why I am looking at these MDA papers?

It is inevitable in big organizations, that there are central processes that are supported by every part of the organization. But at the same time it is desirable, to support individual processes, that respect local specialties. In this case the local units must be given the possibility to plug into the global processes. This can only be done, if the behavior of the local and the central processes is known – and by this the interaction – the choreography between them – can be defined and described. Therefore it is important to have behavior modeling languages for processes of units and of the choreography. Furthermore sometimes it is necessary to allow a local unit to describe their own processes or aspects of their own processes in their own language – a DSL – and plug them into the central processes.

If this is achieved it is a controlled powerful local flexibility with the integration into centrally controlled processes.

All of these articles and also BPMN 2.0 can help to strife towards this goal.
