Making BPEL Flexible

چکیده
The Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) is a process modeling language which uses standard control constructs to define a process flow. But today enterprises have to be flexible and adaptable to cope with increasing change, uncertainty and unpredictability. Automating agile business processes is still a challenge as they are normally knowledge intensive, little automated but compliance relevant. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) inherently enables flexibility and adaptivity through choreography of services where each service can select and invoke any other web services. Web services are basic building blocks for building online processes. In this paper we introduce an approach combining BPEL, Business rules and semantic web technologies to achieve adaptivity

Making BPEL Flexible – Adapting in the Context of Coordination Constraints Using WS-BPEL
While WS-BPEL is emerging as the prominent language for modeling executable business processes, it provides limited support for designing flexible processes. An important need of adaptive processes is for concurrent activities in the process to respect coordination constraints. These require that concurrent activities coordinate their behaviors in response to events otherwise the process may be...
متن کاملConcept and Implementation for Integrating User Interface Descriptions into BPEL Processes
The Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) is becoming more and more important for companies which want to automatize their workflows. Beyond automation, real-world business processes usually involve human user interaction. However, the recent BPEL specification lacks support for that. This thesis presents an extension-based approach for user interaction in BPEL processes. A new BPEL activi...
متن کاملAnalyzing interacting WS-BPEL processes using flexible model generation
We address the problem of analyzing the interaction between WS-BPEL processes. We present a technology chain that starts out with a WS-BPEL process and translates it into a Petri net model. On the model we decide controllability of the process (the existence of a partner process, such that both can interact properly) and compute its operating guideline (a characterization of all properly intera...

متن کاملA Flexible Approach for Business Processes Monitoring
Business processes and their implementation as Web Service Compositions are not only dependent on Web Services and partners all over the Internet, but also on their failsafe execution. Service providers have to obligate their services to perform according to negotiated Quality of Service (QoS) parameters. For example, response time and throughput are important parameters to achieve fast and eff...
