From Business Process Models to Web Services Orchestration: The Case of UML 2.0 Activity Diagram to BPEL
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL) has emerged as the de facto standard for implementing business processes. At the same time, Model Driven Architecture (MDA) is being applied to the field of business process engineering by separating business logic from the underlying platform technology. However, due to the challenge of mapping graph-oriented modeling languages to block-structured ones and the informal description of UML 2.0 Activity Diagram (AD) and BPEL, transforming AD models to executable BPEL code is not trivial. This paper proposes an approach to transform AD to BPEL and paves the way for further general transformation between graph-oriented and block-structured process modeling languages.

A User-Centered Approach to Modeling BPEL Business Processes Using SUCD Use Cases
BPEL is being widely used to specify business processes through the orchestration, composition and coordination of web services. It is now common practice to begin the process of modeling the work ows within a set of BPEL business processes using UML Activity Diagrams since they can be automatically mapped down onto BPEL code. However activity diagrams were not intended to explicitly model user...
متن کاملOperative Semantic Web Services Oeuvre
Web service composition is one of the challenging issues that have been studiedover the past years. It consists of combining existing web services to best suit new user requirements. This paper suggests an UML profile to compose web services based on their behavioral aspects. The Web Service Description Language (WSDL) files are first transformed to Unified Modeling Language (UML) models; then ...
متن کاملTransforming Functional Requirements from UML into BPEL to Efficiently Develop SOA-Based Systems
The intended behavior of any system such as services, tasks or functions can be captured by functional requirements of the system. As our dependence on online services has grown steadily, the web applications are being developed employing the SOA. BPEL4WS provides a means for expressing functional requirements of an SOA-based system by providing constructs to capture business goals and objectiv...
متن کاملBuilding Orchestrations in B2Bi - The Case of BPEL 2.0 and BPMN 2.0
Various approaches for service-oriented business-to-business integration (B2Bi) rely on a top-down development methodology. The starting point is a choreography model which is subsequently partitioned into multiple orchestrations. Most current approaches use the Web Services Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) for implementing the latter. At the same time, a plethora of other languages, ...
متن کاملA Survey of Web services Orchestration and Choreography with Formal Models
The service-oriented architecture (SOA) promises a new generation of information systems applications based on a new set of standards for enabling self-describing interoperable Web services. Web service orchestration and choreography are both concerned with the composition of Web services to meet the needs of business processes. There are two important standards for modeling and implementing wo...
