View driven federation of choreographies

Abstract

We propose a layered architecture for choreographies and orchestrations of web services. The proposed architecture uses the concept of process views. The distributed nature of the model and the concept of views improve the privacy of business partners but do not limit their interaction capabilities, an essential feature in B2B and interorganizational applications. Our approach enables description of business processes in different levels of detail with a uniform modeling language and is fully distributed. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
