Medical services workflows with BPEL4WS
نویسندگان
چکیده
With recent work in the field of workflows it is possible to define more flexible business models. With the standardization of the Business Process Execution Language (BPEL4WS) a new implementation method is available. The medical services domain, complex and highly structured, provides the background for our research. This paper analyzes a highly relevant medical services workflow: the Create Diagnosis workflow. Additionally it points out the requirements for modeling such workflows. It abstracts from the example to the structure and dynamic behavior of a workflow model useable for medical services. Furthermore, it points out a method of mapping the workflow model’s transactions and activities to BPEL language patterns. Finally, it investigates a method to define medical services in a top-down approach from scenario-based UML Use-Cases to a workflow definition and BPEL specification.

Modeling ad-hoc medical imaging workflows with BPEL4WS
Web services workflows are increasingly gaining attention. With the advent of emerging standards such as the Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL4WS) medical organizations are investigating the options for modeling ad-hoc workflows. In this paper we analyze a highly relevant ad-hoc workflow in the medical imaging domain: the second opinion workflow. Since this workflow, by...
متن کاملIntegrating Agent Services into BPEL4WS Defined Workflows
In the future, Web services and software agents will coexist in the Business Process Management solution space. In our vision, agents will have symbiotic relationships with Web services, harnessing them as externally defined agent behaviors. In this paper we detail the development of a demonstration system that transparently integrates agent services into BPEL4WS defined workflows. The developm...
متن کاملApplication of Business Process Execution Language to Scientific Workflows
This paper investigates the use of the Business Process Execution Language for Web services (BPEL4WS/ BPEL) for managing scientific workflows. The complexity, unpredictability and inter-dependency of the components in a scientific workflow often demand great flexibility in a workflow-language in order to support; 1) exception handling, 2) recovery from uncertain situations, 3) user interactions...
متن کاملOn using BPEL extensibility to implement OGSI and WSRF Grid workflows
This paper discusses the benefits and challenges of using BPEL4WS in Grid environments. In particular we look on how BPEL4WS built-in extensibility can be used to facilitate execution of BPEL based workflows in OGSI and WSRF based Grids.
متن کاملExpressing Business Process Models as OWL-S Ontologies
BPEL4WS is a well-established business process standard that can be used to orchestrate service-based workflows. However, the rapid growth and automation demands of e-business and grid applications require BPEL4WS to provide enhanced semantic annotations to achieve the goal of business processes automation. Here, OWL-S (OWL for Web Services) is designed to represent such kind of semantic inform...
