BPEL-RF: A formal framework for BPEL orchestrations integrating distributed resources
This addresses a gap in using web service compositions for distributed resource management, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing technologies like BPEL and WSRF.
The paper tackles the problem of managing distributed resources in web service compositions by presenting a formal model that integrates BPEL orchestrations with distributed resources using WSRF, resulting in a framework for combining these elements.
Web service compositions are gaining attention to develop complex web systems by combination of existing services. Thus, there are many works that leverage the advantages of this approach. However, there are only few works that use web service compositions to manage distributed resources. In this paper, we then present a formal model that combines orchestrations written in BPEL with distributed resources, by using WSRF.
