Description
Summary:Business Process (BP) composition is a challenging task for small and medium organizations that do not have sufficient resources for design, coding, and management of their BPs. Cloud infrastructure and service-oriented middleware can be leveraged for rapid development and deployment of BPs of such organizations. BP development in the cloud-based environment can be done by exploiting the knowledge of existing BPs of related organizations. In this demonstration, we present the BP- Com tool which is a Web-based interactive system that enables efficient development of BPs in the cloud. BP-Com implements our service mapping approach called ASSEMBLE that utilizes the attribute, structural and semantics information of service operations of existing BPs in a given domain to help a user organization to compose its BP. Given a collection of related BPs and available service operations of a user organization, BP-Com computes a mapping between the available service operations of the user organization and the BP operations of other organizations. The results of operation mapping are presented to the user for refinement and customization of the generated BP workflow. Executable BP code is then generated in standard BPEL language, which can be deployed on any process execution engine on the user organization's site or on the cloud.
