ESB SOA implementations that were based on only endpoints as a concept defines set of capabilities which includes message fall short of the key infrastructure to support data routing, transformation, and service orchestration. However there transformation, event handling, and durable messaging. These exist different approaches towards achieving these capabilities. There additional requirements to SOA led to what is known as is much ongoing research on architectural issues and enabling Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) [3]. technologies for ESBs, but the body of knowledge regarding service ESB is a standard based integration infrastructure that automation and orchestration schemes needs some improvements.

    Institut für Architektur von Anwendungssystemen Universität Stuttgart Universitätsstraße 38 D–70569 Stuttgart Fachstudie No. 146 Comparison of Composition Engines and Identification of Shortcomings with Respect to Cloud Computing Thomas Bachmann, Lukasz Bialy, Anand Babu Study Course: Software Engineering Examiner: Prof. Dr. Frank Leymann Supervisors: Dr. Vasilios Andrikopoulos, Steve Strauch Started at: 2011-10-07 Finished at: 2012-02-20 CR-Classification: C.2.4, D.2.11, F.1.1, H.3.5, H.4.1 ii Abstract Most workflow engines are currently not Cloud-aware. This is due to multiple reasons like no support for transparent scalability, no multi-tenancy support, no ability to store process related data in a Cloud storage, or no support for quality of service enforcements. Recently Cloud based workflow services appeared in the workflow landscape and promise to run workflows in the Cloud. This student reports evaluates current state of the art BPEL and BPMN workflow engines and Cloud based workflow services according to their Cloud- awareness and general workflow functionalities. Identified shortcomings are described and prioritized. As a result of this evaluation the workflow engine WSO2 Stratos is best suited for running workflows in the Cloud, but it lacks native clustering support and quality of service enforcement.

  • Diploma Thesis Michael Baldauf
    Institute of Architecture of Application Systems University of Stuttgart Universitätsstraße 38 D-70569 Stuttgart Diplomarbeit Nr. 3201 Extending an Open Source BPEL Engine for Multi-Tenancy Support Michael Baldauf Course of Study: Computer Science Examiner: Prof. Dr. Frank Leymann Supervisors: Dipl.-Inf. Tobias Binz Dipl.-Inf. Steve Strauch Commenced: June 20, 2011 Completed: December 20, 2011 CR-Classification: D.2.11, H.3.5, H.4.1, H.5.3 Abstract WS-BPEL is the de-facto standard for orchestrating Web services into business processes. Workflow engines can execute WS-BPEL processes. Furthermore, workflow engines handle the communication with external service partners providing the Web services. One future goal is to achieve tenant-aware Web services and thereby tenant-aware workflow engines to handle Web services. These tenant-aware Web services are specifically configured for the tenants, and the tenant-aware engines are able to configure such a process instance and offer them on a per-tenant basis. This reduces provider costs and efforts. The goal of this diploma thesis is to describe how workflow engines can support multi- tenancy, especially in the area of communication, and how this is of advantage for providers who offer their services over the Web using such a workflow engine. The providers should be able to offer tenant specific instances of applications on one workflow engine. In this diploma thesis, a concept to extend a workflow engine to handle a tenant context is developed. It is therefore an extension of the workflow engine in the area of communication. The concept is implemented by extending the open source WS-BPEL engine OW2 Orchestra.

  • Enabling Integration and Aggregation of Context Information Into WS-BPEL Processes
    Institute of Architecture of Application Systems University of Stuttgart Universitätsstraße 38 D–70569 Stuttgart Diplomarbeit Nr. 3139 Enabling Integration and Aggregation of Context Information into WS-BPEL Processes Rodion Hagin Course of Study: Software Engineering Examiner: Prof. Dr. Frank Leymann Supervisor: Dipl.-Inf. TobiasBinz Dipl.-Inf. Steve Strauch Commenced: February 1, 2011 Completed: August 2, 2011 CR-Classification: H.3.3, H.3.4, H.4.1 Abstract Previously, techniques of Context-Aware Computing were limited only to small scale monolithic applications due to the lack of standardized technologies which could support interoperability of services owned by different organizations. The advancement in Service-Oriented Computing technology allowed autonomous and heterogeneous applications to be exposed as Web Services and interconnected into service compositions exploiting well-agreed interfaces, protocols and message formats. The Web Service Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL) is the de- facto standard for composing reusable Web services. To enable handling of context information in applications, context information has to be made available within service compositions; hence, integrated in WS-BPEL processes. Through this means, new innovative context-enriched services can be built and provided using the convergence of context-aware computing and workflow technology. In this diploma thesis, context information provided by the C-CAST Context Management Framework and Google Maps Web services, is integrated into WS-BPEL, and business modelers are supported with the creation of context-based compositions. After surveying some of the current best practice and relevant literature in this area, this thesis presents a solution to this problem based on the Integration Process Pattern work previously done at the Institute of Architecture of Application Systems at the University of Stuttgart.
