Fernando Antônio Aires Lins · International Journal of Computer Science Engineering and Applications · 2012
The adoption of business processes to design business activities is becoming a reality to a significant number of companies.In addition, the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is being used in diverse situations for the execution of business processes using computational resources.In this context, the need of business process automation appears with high relevance.In this work, we present a solution named BPA-SOA, which aims to automate SOA-based business processes, specified in BPMN, into WS-BPEL executable processes.In BPA-SOA, business and service information can be specified at the business level, translated into executable artifacts, deployed in execution-level resources and enforced at runtime.An illustrative scenario is presented to better illustrate and showcase the proposed solution.
