Advanced Synchronization Patterns for Process-Driven and Service-Oriented Architectures.
Carsten Hentrich, Uwe Zdun · 2008
In a processdriven and serviceoriented architecture, parallel and independently running business processes might need to be synchronised according to dependencies of complex business scenarios. In this paper we describe three software patterns that address such rather advanced synchronisation issues between business processes running in parallel. The patterns focus on coordinating the parallel and principally independent business processes via architectural solutions allowing architects to model the flexible synchronisation of the processes.
