Service Choreography Patterns

QUT STRATEGIC LINKS WITH INDUSTRY GRANT

PERIOD: 1/12/2004 - 30/11/2005

SUMMARY:
Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) have emerged as a promising paradigm for interconnecting business processes across organizational boundaries: a subject of open challenges in the area of Business Process Management (BPM). Recent developments in SOA have resulted in increasingly sophisticated technology and associated standards, creating a need for consolidated insights and best practices. This project will address this need by formally capturing the requirements of service-oriented business process interconnection in the form of a collection of service choreography patterns. These patterns will be used to analyze relevant standards and tools. The project will strengthen the strategic relationship between QUT and SAP in the area of BPM by complementing ongoing externally funded projects and paving the way for future ones.
