“…A common practice is to use rules to specify frequently changing requirements and to constrain control flows embedded in the business processes. Embedding rules into a process makes it difficult to adapt changing requirements and keeping the rules consistent without changing the composition logic [8], [9], [10]. Adaptation of changes may requires updates in rules or redesign of processes which may lead to remodification of composition logic.…”

Recent trends in the use of service oriented architecture for designing, developing, managing, and using distributed applications have resulted in an increasing number of independently developed and physically distributed services. These services can be discovered, selected and composed to develop new applications and to meet emerging user requirements. Service composition is generally defined on the basis of business processes in which the underlying composition logic is guided by specifying control and data flows through Web service interfaces. User demands as well as the services themselves may change over time, which leads to replacing or adjusting the composition logic of previously defined processes. Coping with change is still one of the fundamental problems in current process based composition approaches. In this paper, we exploit declarative and imperative design styles to achieve better flexibility in service composition.

“…The main problem is that the whole underlying business logic is expressed as a monolithic block, namely the process specification [14]. Each business constraint that must be pre-defined and hard-wired throughout the process has to be expressed in terms of activities and must be integrated with the process specification [13].…”

“…Meanwhile, business rules are rapidly gaining popularity as a means to separate the business logic from the operational processes and applications [14].

By its very nature, delivering information as a service upon the demands of the business, service-based business processes offer additional features and benefits that can complement traditional BI implementations in providing enterprises of all sizes a new approach to meet their data integration and analysis needs at all levels in the enterprise. To be successful, BI solutions have required new ways of approaching the business process interoperability, providing an efficient support for the whole process of service-based BI deployment. In this context, the focus of this paper is on the state of the art towards business process interoperability in the service-based business environments. Specifically, this paper also aims to highlight significant potentials of business rules that can enable business processes to meet the adaptability and interoperability requirements of service-based business processes. Some of the challenges current rule-based approaches face and potential research opportunities will be also highlighted.

SMEs face a variety of challenges in their attempts to keep up with the cyber revolution, even though SMEs are a major part of the world economy. In a previous publication, the authors established that 'B2C' model does not accurately represent or support SMEs in M-Commerce. Instead, the authors reviewed SMEs and SME supporting apps from mobile app marketplaces and suggested a model called 'B2i2C'. In this model, the 'i', in the form of intermediary business entity are playing a vital role in SMEs breakthrough into M-commerce. Following on, this paper reviews business processes to generate a generic model adaptable to a variety of SME related products and services. This paper presents the case study of Talabat, one of the most successful GCC e-business models that supports SMEs to have come out from Kuwait. The information collected from online resources, student placements and feedback from operation managers attempt to emulate the business process model for a variety of 'B2i2C' business models. The generic model is then tested against three different scenarios to identify the level of similarity. The results demonstrate a high degree of adaptability of the model and a major opportunity to explore in the area of SME supporting app in M-Commerce.
