This technical note provides Java developers a conceptual introduction to SOA-based service orchestration using familar concepts. It is a companion piece to the "BPEL for Java Developers" video above.
This episode takes a look at how it is possible to meld the "Wild West" control flow of BPMN 2.0 with the more buttoned-down control flow of BPEL. Rowley gives an example of a BPEL extension that effectively marries these two standards in a way that preserves the best of both BPMN modeling and BPEL execution.
This week's topic on CTO Tuesdays was an introduction to the new WS-HumanTask standard for workflow. In this informative session, Michael Rowley describes the importance of the new standard for workflow, how it separates tasks from processing and how WS-HumanTask enables human activities to be seen as services in a process application.
This paper describes how ActiveVOS makes it easy to use service-oriented standards to combine people, processes and systems into a unified solution that delivers on the promise of business process management.
This paper compares and contrasts two different SOA technologies and how to leverage them to realize the promise of a true service-oriented architecture.
