- Hotel Reservation (web service 2)
- Need for web service composition
6Business Process Challenges
- A number of processes or agents concurrently and
cooperatively tries to achieve some goals. - Coordinate asynchronous communication between
services. - Correlate message exchange between parties.
- Implement parallel processing of activities.
- Manipulate/transform data between partner
interactions - Support long running business transaction
- Provide consistent exception handling
7Solution- Web Service Composition
- Composed web services are
- Individual components implemented at different
places. - Execute in different contexts.
- Need to communicate to yield better results.
8Industry Solution
- Web service Interface design using WSDL
- Interaction and message exchange between
different web services using BPEL.
9Recent history of Business Process Standards
10Orchestration Choreography
11Orchestration Choreography
- Orchestration and Choreography describe two
aspects of creating business processes from
composite Web services.
12Orchestration Choreography
- Orchestration refers to an executable business
process that may interact with both internal and
external web services. For orchestration, the
process is always controlled from the perspective
of one of the business parties. - Choreography is more collaborative in nature, in
which each party involved in the process
describes the part they play in the interaction.

16Orchestration Choreography
- orchestration
- Compose web services for business processes
- control from the perspective of one business
partner - Composition in the part of sense
- workflow
- Choreography
- Compose web services for business collaboration.
- sequence of messages
- public message exchanges
- Composition in the sequencing sense
- Peer-to-peer model
- protocols

19Work Flow
- Traditional workflow processes
- Tens to a few hundreds of tasks
- Selection is humanly manageable
- Web services processes
- Thousands of web services available potentially.
- Impossible to manually browse and select most
suitable ones.
20WorkFlow
- The automation of a business process, in whole or
part, during which documents, information or
tasks are passed from one participant to another
for action, according to a set of procedural
rules.
21WFMS
- A software component that takes as an input a
formal description of business processes and
maintains the state of process executions,
thereby delegating activities among people and
applications.

Management System..
33Few characteristics of WebWork
- WebWork supports the creation of flexible
workflows that include both manual and automated
tasks, transactional and non-transactional tasks
by coordinating the overall execution of the
tasks. -
- WebWork is designed for heterogeneous distributed
environments spanning multiple organizations. - a. Client access is universal since all that
is required is a graphical Web browser. - b. On the server side where the CGI programs
- are run, WebWork supports the use of multiple
Web servers.
34Few characteristics of WebWork
- WebWork is designed to interoperate with OrbWork,
NeoWork. - It can also communicate with a variety of DBMS.
- WebWork provides low overhead yet what we believe
to be effective recovery mechanisms. - WebWork supports rapid workflow application
development in which all workflow oriented code
is automatically generated.
35 BPEL

Web Services - XML based language for description of Web service
according to the specified business rule
