Automating Web Service Composition for Collaborative Business Processes

Dynamic execution planning for reliable collaborative business processes

“…As a key component of a collaborative business process, web service processes, which are composed of various web services, can be defined as composite web services [16]. Because web service processes are executed by the external vendors, controlling them is crucial to the QoS of a whole collaborative business process.…”

Petri Nets based Reliability Evaluation of Services

“…BPEL has become the main description language that is related to the structure. Comparing to the interaction associated, there are several major typical method for modeling of the interaction: process algebra [4], STD (State Transition Diagrams) [5], DFA (Deterministic Finite Automata) [6], π-calculus [7], Petri Net [8], Fuzzy Petri Net [9], CPN(Colored Petri Nets) [10] and some other techniques and methods.…”
