Towards a transaction framework for contract-driven service-oriented business processes
Tongjuan Wang, A. Hanemann · TU/e Research Portal · 2005
Abstract. Transaction support is vital for reliability of business processes which nowadays can involve dynamically composed services across the Internet. However, no single transaction model is comprehensive enough to accommodate various transactional properties demanded by those processes. Therefore we intend to develop a Business Transaction Framework (BTF) that utilizes existing ingredients in the context of contractual business relations. The proposed BTF has flexibility by using a library containing abstracted transaction models, validity based on formalization and business trustworthiness guaranteed by contractual specifications of transactional qualities. 1
