“…These process models are based on ten real world processes (business processes) from the SAP Business Workflow library 3 , from the Enterprise Services (ES) Workplace at the SAP Developer Network (SDN) 4 and from the process library 5 . We used multipliers in order to create from each basic process model between 16 and 25 different models.…”

Abstract. Process modeling is a core task in software engineering in general and in web service modeling in particular. The explicit management of process models for purposes such as process selection and/or process reuse requires flexible and intelligent retrieval of process structures based on process entities and relationships, i.e. process activities, hierarchical relationship between activities and their parts, temporal relationships between activities, conditions on process flows as well as the modeling of domain knowledge. In this paper, we analyze requirements for modeling and querying of process models and present a patternoriented approach exploiting OWL-DL representation and reasoning capabilities for expressive process modeling and retrieval.

“…OWL-DL and DL have been used for process modeling and retrieval before (cf. [4,11,16,17]). However, in these process models, the control flow is either not represented at all or represented by syntactic means that do not allow for reasoning as needed or the process models are too weak to express realistic control flows.…”

“…Depending on the methods used to describe the ontology, ontology based discovery can be classified as OWL_S based Ontology, WSDL-S based Ontology and XSD based ontology a) OWL-S based ontology. OWL-S [30] is based on the W3C recommended OWL ontology Language. OWL-S can be adopted to represent the semantic description of the services.…”

Cloud computing has emerged as one of the hottest area in the field of computer technology, which is used to deliver resources on demand. Users of the cloud can access the services published by the cloud providers. The availability of many cloud providers throughout the world has introduced the need for research in cloud service repository model and discovery. Searching a suitable cloud provider and a cloud service has become a tedious and time consuming task for the service user. There is a need to publish, store and discover suitable cloud providers and services for the users. The cloud service discovery mechanisms support the discovery of services based on functional and non-functional properties. This paper reviews various cloud service description architectures based on the location of availability of cloud service descriptions. It also classifies and gives taxonomy of cloud service discovery methods defined in the literature. The paper also classifies the discovery methods based on the cloud deployment models and describes the various service discovery algorithms used in the literature for cloud service discovery.

“…For example, [4] proposed mapping strategies to transform BPEL to OWL-S, with which the process modeling capabilities and semantic capabilities of OWL-S can be combined, and the process models can be discovered and interacted in a computer understandable way. [5] defined the mappings between BPEL and XPDL (XML Process Definition Language) to support model transformation from one to the other.…”

Mappings from BPEL to PMR for Business Process Registration

Abstract. In order to facilitate business collaboration and interoperation in virtual enterprises, it is crucial to discover appropriate business processes modeled in different languages and stored in different repositories. For this purpose, it is more efficient to register existent process models into a common process model registry, rather than defining numerous mappings from one modeling language to another. Considering the wide acceptance of BPEL, this paper proposed a common metamodel for process model registration (PMR), and defines the mappings from BPEL to PMR with corresponding mapping rules and algorithms. In this way, BPEL process models can be registered in the process model registry based on PMR automatically, and then the essential data from their registration information can facilitate process discovery across heterogeneous process repositories.
