Introducing partner shared states into ebBP to WS-BPEL translations
Christoph Pflügler, Andreas Schönberger, Guido Wirtz · 2009
Business-to-Business integration (B2Bi) as a core concept of Supply Chain Management (SCM) is a key success factor for enterprises today. Frequently, choreography models are used for agreeing about the overall message exchanges among integration partners, while orchestration models are used to specify the local message flow of each individual participant. Choreography standards like ebXML BPSS (ebBP) and orchestration standards like WS-BPEL have been developed which promise to provide standards based support for interoperability among integration partners. Further, the translation of ebBP models to WS-BPEL models has been proposed in order to ensure, among others, conformance of orchestrations to choreographies.
