Bridging the Gap between Business Processes and Service Composition through Service Choreographies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Inter-organizational business processes implementations using service composition approaches are being more and more used . We want to reduce the semantic gap that exists between both worlds (business processes and services) through service choreographies, a composition approach that we think it is semantically close to multi-party business processes. We rely on modeling techniques as abstraction layers and view separation to achieve our goal. Our start point is a web service choreography meta-model presented in three abstraction layers where each layer is divided in a structural and a behavioral view. The metamodel can be used in a top-down or a bottom-up approach to make a progressive transition between the business process and the service world.

Towards integration of business processes and semantic web services
Business processes are modeled as syntax based compositions of multiple services to perform tasks that a single Web service alone can not perform. When these processes are exported as services they have same syntactical limitations as traditional WSDL services resulting in clampdown for their dynamic discovery, invocation and composition by other semantic enabled systems.

متن کاملTemporal Conformance of Federated Choreographies
Web service composition is a new way for implementing business processes. In particular, a choreography supportsmodeling and enactment of interorganizational business processes consisting of autonomous organizations. Temporal constraints are important quality criteria. We propose a technique for modeling temporal constraints in choreographies and orchestrations, checking whether the orchestrati...

This commentary addresses Bowen et al’s empirical study of perspectives of Canadian healthcare staff towards research and their call for multi-faceted action to improve misalignments in the system. This commentary argues that tensions and misalignments between research and service are inherent and can never be eradicated. Building on previous work by Lanham et al, I pro...
متن کاملBridging the Gap between Business Process Models and Service Composition Specifications
Fundamental goals of any Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) include the flexible support and adaptability of business processes as well as improved business-IT alignment. Existing approaches, however, have failed to fully meet these goals. One of the major reasons for this deficiency is the gap that exists between business process models on the one hand and workflow specifications and implemen...
متن کاملSemantic Business Process Pattern to Web Service Mapping: an Experimental Framework
An organisation’s competitiveness relies heavily on its business processes, and business processes nowadays are automated through Web Services to allow organisations to be more flexible in the face of change. However, bridging the gap between business process patterns and Web Services is an important yet challenging task and therefore this paper aims to describe an approach that facilitates the...
