An ECA-based Control-rule formalism for the BPEL Process Modularization

Because businesses are constantly changing, the control flow of business process must be pluggable, i.e., it should be defined in a flexible manner so that any change in the flow can be easily accommodated. The problem of abstraction with respect to languages for Web Services Composition has gained a lot of attention lately. In this paper, An ECA-based control-rule formalism is introduced to modularize the monolithic BPEL process structure. Using such a formalism, business users not only can model executable cross-organizational business processes, but also can easily manage changing business environments.
