“…It is important to note that the abstract process variant is a conventional BPMN 2.0 process model since all variabilities have been resolved. 1 Therefore, the generation of the BPEL definition from the abstract process variant follows the exact mapping between BPMN elements and BPEL elements defined in the BPMN 2.0 specification. Another important remark is that the existence of partner tasks in the abstract process variant will help to create partner links and accurate service invocation between the process variant and partner service variants.…”

Variability in process-based service compositions needs to be explicitly modeled and managed in order to facilitate service/process customization and increase reuse in service/process development. While related work has been able to capture variability and variability dependencies within a composition, these approaches fail to capture variability dependencies between the composition and partner services. Consequently, these approaches cannot address the situation when a customizable composite service is orchestrated from partner services which themselves are customizable. In this article, we describe a feature-based approach that is able to effectively model variability within and across compositions. The approach is supported by a process development methodology that enables the systematic reuse and management of variability. A prototype system supporting extended BPMN 2.0 is used to demonstrate the feasibility of the approach.

“…Due to the diversity in service consumption, service variability has become an important factor in the lifecycle of service development [1,10,30]. Service variability is defined as the ability of a service or process to be efficiently extended, changed, customized or configured for use in a particular context [31].…”

“…Although service brokers like Amazon or eBay can be seen as channels, Barros et al [2011] distinguish between the notion of service broker and service channel. They identify channels as exclusive consumption points of services and brokers as access points to services.…”

“…Naturally, this defines the concept of diversified channel provisioning. Channels hold important configuration features, including integration of selected services to be consumed, business constraints, operational constraints and how the output should be displayed [Barros et al, 2011]. In other words, to take part in a variety of service provisioning situations, new interfaces can be created that are mapped to the existing service interface.…”
