Rule Driven Modeling of Business Collaborations
Bart Orriëns · 2006
Current composite web service development and management solutions, e.g. BPEL, do not cater for flexible and adaptive business collaborations due to their predefined and inflexible nature that precludes them accommodating business dynamics. In this report we propose a rule driven approach for adaptive business collaboration development in which rules drive and govern the development process. We briefly introduce the Business Collaboration Context Framework (BCCF), which provides enterprizes with the context required for business collaboration. Then, we shortly explain our model driven approach that based on the BCCF provides enterprizes with the means to capture their different collaboration behaviors both from a business and technical point of view. Subsequently, we set out how we utilize rules to drive the development and management of business collaboration models to make them more flexible and adaptive.
