Chapter 1: Security Security-relevance of semantic patterns in cross-organisational business processes using WS-BPEL K.P.Fischer1,2,3, U.Bleimann1, W.Fuhrmann1 and S.M.Furnell2,4 1 Aida Institute of Applied Informatics, University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt, Germany 2 Network Research Group, University of Plymouth, Plymouth, United Kingdom 3 Digamma Communications Consulting GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany 4School of Computer and Information Science, Edith Cowan University, Perth, Australia e-mail: [email protected] Abstract This paper gives an overview of the research project considering security aspects in the context of business process management. In particular, security issues arising when scripts written in the standardized scripting language WS-BPEL (formerly: BPEL4WS or BPEL for short) implementing cross-organisational business processes on top of Web services are deployed across security domain boundaries, are being investigated. It analyses the security- relevant semantics of this scripting language in order to facilitate checking for compliance with security policies effective at the domain of execution. Keywords Security Policy, Policy Enforcement, Cross-Organisational Business Process (CBP), Semantic Analysis, Web Services, Web Services Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL, BPEL) 1. Introduction Web services are currently considered a broadly adopted approach for the realization of a service oriented architecture (SOA) used in service oriented computing (SOC) (Curbera et al., 2003; Foster and Tuecke, 2005; Papazoglou and Georgakopoulos 2003). Web services, and the composition or orchestration of them, play a central role in current approaches to service oriented computing (Berardi et al., 2003). Service orientation is also expected to play an important role in grid computing, where the provisioning of computing resources within a conceptual huge network of collaborating computers and devices can also be fostered by services (so called grid services in this context) (Tuecke et al., 2003; ). -
Diploma Thesis "Service-Oriented Architecture State of the Art"
Diploma Thesis State of the Art in Service-Oriented Architecture: Current Advances and Approaches to its Implementation Achieving Distributed Business Process Integration by Hendrik Mueller Born on October 11th, 1982 in Burgstaedt, Germany Dresden University of Technology Department of Computer Science Institute for Computer Networks Supervised by: SAP Labs India Pvt. Ltd. Bangalore, India: Rajeev Warrier, Vice President NetWeaver Development Dresden University of Technology, Dresden, Germany: Dr.-Ing. Iris Braun Prof. Dr. rer. nat. habil. Dr. h. c. Alexander Schill Started on June 1st, 2006 Submitted on November 30th, 2006 Abstract Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), a growing concept for distributed software systems, was particularly intended for use within business environments. SOA opens new avenues for complex business processing spread across enterprise borders, revolutionizing business process integra- tion. It provides a flexible and elegant basis for the integration of disparate enterprise resource planning software used by companies. This also helps facilitate automated processing. The answer to the realizations of all these needs lies in the numerous current technologies pertain- ing to SOA. Although a lot of standards have been established during the last few years, SOA remains steeped in controversies over the different ways to realize the complete architectural model. Common implementation models for SOA have been under development over the past two years. The goal of this thesis is an in depth state-of-the-art analysis of existing as well as emerging standards and technologies relevant to SOA. Furthermore, the work closely examines business processes and their relationship to these technologies. Based on current advances, the different approaches to SOA implementation are elaborated and illustrated by means of a prototype. -

A Security Infrastructure for Cross-Domain Deployment of Script-Based Business Processes in SOC Environments K.P.Fischer1,3, U. Bleimann1, W. Fuhrmann1, S.M Furnell2,4 1 Aida Institute of Applied Informatics, University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt, Germany 2 Network Research Group, University of Plymouth, Plymouth, United Kingdom 3 Digamma Communications Consulting GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany 4School of Computer and Information Science, Edith Cowan University, Perth, Australia e-mail: [email protected] Abstract This paper addresses security aspects arising in service oriented computing (SOC) when scripts written in a standardized scripting language such as WS-BPEL (formerly: BPEL4WS or BPEL for short), BPML, XPDL, WSCI in order to implement business processes on top of Web services are deployed across security domain boundaries. It proposes an infrastructure and methods for checking the scripts deployed, prior to execution, for compliance with security policies effective at the domain in which a remotely developed script-based business process is to be executed. Keywords Security Policy, Policy Enforcement, Service Oriented Computing (SOC), Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Business Process Management, Web Services, Web Services Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL) 1. Introduction Service oriented computing (SOC) is currently considered one of the most promising new paradigms for distributed computing (Papazoglou and Georgakopoulos, 2003). Though com- paratively new, a significant amount of research has already been dedicated to this area (e.g. Deubler et al. 2004). Web services, and the composition or orchestration of them, play a central role in current approaches to service oriented computing (Berardi et al. 2003). Service orientation is also expected to have an important influence in the area of grid computing, where the provisioning of computing resources within a conceptual huge network of collaborating computers and devices can also be fostered by services (so called grid services in this context) provided by different nodes (Tuecke et al. -

BPELscript: A Simplified Script Syntax for WS-BPEL 2.0 Marc Bischof, Oliver Kopp, Tammo van Lessen, Frank Leymann Institute of Architecture of Application Systems Universitat¨ Stuttgart Stuttgart, Germany [email protected], [email protected] Abstract—Business processes are usually modeled using graphical notations such as BPMN. As a first step towards execution as workflow, a business process is transformed to an abstract WS-BPEL process. Technical details required for execution are added by an IT expert. While IT experts expect Java-like syntax for programs, WS-BPEL requires processes to be expressed in XML. -

SECURITY POLICY ENFORCEMENT IN APPLICATION ENVIRONMENTS USING DISTRIBUTED SCRIPT-BASED CONTROL STRUCTURES by KLAUS-PETER FISCHER-HELLMANN A thesis submitted to the University of Plymouth in partial fulfilment for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Computing, Communications and Electronics Faculty of Technology In collaboration with Darmstadt Node of the NRG Network at University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt September 2007 University of Plymouth Library Abstract Security Policy Enforcement in Application Environments Using Distributed Script-Based Control Structures Klaus-Peter Fischer-Hellmann Dipl.-Math. Business processes involving several partners in different organisations impose deman• ding requirements on procedures for specification, execution and maintenance. A framework referred to as business process management (BPM) has evolved for this pur• pose over the last ten years. Other approaches, such as service-oriented architecture (SOA) or the concept of virtual organisations (VOs), assist in the definition of architec• tures and procedures for modelling and execution of so-called collaborative business processes (CBPs). -
Security-Relevant Semantic Patterns of BPEL in Cross-Organisational Business Processes
Security-Relevant Semantic Patterns of BPEL in Cross-Organisational Business Processes K.P.Fischer 1,3 , U.Bleimann 1, W.Fuhrmann 1, S.M.Furnell 2,4 1 Aida Institute of Applied Informatics, University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt, Germany 2 Network Research Group, University of Plymouth, Plymouth, United Kingdom 3 Digamma Communications Consulting GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany 4 School of Computer and Information Science, Edith Cowan University, Perth, Australia e-mail: [email protected] Abstract This paper presents results of the analysis of security-relevant semantics of business processes being defined by WS-BPEL (Web Services Business Process Execution Language, BPEL for short) scripts. In particular, security issues arising when such scripts defining cross-organisational business processes on top of Web services are de- ployed across security domain boundaries, give rise to this investigation. The analysis of security-relevant seman- tics of this scripting language will help to overcome these security issues making further exploitation of BPEL as a standard for defining cross-organisational business processes more acceptable. Semantic patterns being combi- nations of particular language features and Web services with specific access restrictions implied by security poli- cies are defined and analysed for this purpose. Applications of the results of this analysis to distributed definition and execution of BPEL-defined business processes may be found in a previous paper of the authors. Keywords Cross-Organisational Business Process (CBP), Web Services Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL, BPEL), Semantic Analysis, Security Policy, Web Services, Service Oriented Computing 1. Introduction Web services, and the composition or orchestration of them, play a central role in current ap- proaches to service-oriented computing (Berardi et al., 2003). -

SIMULATION SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE AND SERVICE-ORIENTED SIMULATION EXPERIMENT by SONG GUO Under the Direction of Xiaolin Hu ABSTRACT Simulation software is being increasingly used in various domains for system analysis and/or behavior prediction. Traditionally, researchers and field experts need to have access to the computers that host the simulation software to do simulation experiments. With recent advances in cloud computing and Software as a Service (SaaS), a new paradigm is emerging where simulation software is used as services that are composed with others and dynamically influence each other for service-oriented simulation experiment on the Internet. The new service-oriented paradigm brings new research challenges in composing multiple simulation services in a meaningful and correct way for simulation experiments. To systematically support simulation software as a service (SimSaaS) and service-oriented simulation experiment, we propose a layered framework that includes five layers: an infrastructure layer, a simulation execution engine layer, a simulation service layer, a simulation experiment layer and finally a graphical user interface layer. -
Possibilities for Modeling and Integration of Business Processes*
BULGARIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES CYBERNETICS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES · Volume 5, No 1 Sofia . 2005 Possibilities for Modeling and Integration of Business Processes* Hristina Daskalova, Vladislava Grigorova, Tatiana Atanassova Institute of Information Technologies, 1113 Sofia E-mails: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: Web-based modeling of business processes is considered. The technological chain for generating loosely coupled systems, using the technology of Web-services is described. Requirements that concern the language describing the sequence of actions in the business process, as well as the infrastructure that will realize these actions, are determined. Standards for orchestration and choreography are discussed. Integration in enterprise applications using development of software technologies on the basis of a distributed service-oriented architecture is shown on the example of IBM solutions. Keywords: business process, web services, orchestration, choreography, grid- environment. I. Introduction The methods for modeling business processes may be divided with respect to the moment of their release – either created before the development of Web-services or directly based on Web-services and service-oriented architectures. The Web-services give a possibility for creating an integrated platform. They are tools for interoperation of information systems that are not human centralized. There exists an opinion that the first actual languages for models description, such as ebPML, BPML, XLANG, WSFL, BPEL4WS, EDOC, XPDL and UML 2.0 will lose their independent existence, but will continue to be used in combination with the second ones. After the development of version 1.1 of the specification of BPEL4WS language and its renaming into BPEL, its positions have considerably improved in comparison with the remaining languages. -

R !"#$ $ !" !" # %&' ( ! " !#$#$"% &' ("$ &' ))& ' $&! Abstract Service composition has risen from the need to make information systems more flexible and open. The Service Oriented Architecture has become the reference architecture model for applications carried by the impetus of Internet (Web). In fact, information systems are able to expose interfaces through the Web which has increased the number of available Web services. Moreover, with the emergence of Web 2.0, service composition has evolved toward Web users with limited technical skills. Those end-users, named Y generation, are participating, creating, sharing and commenting content through the Web. This evolution in service composition is translated by the reference paradigm of Mashup and Mashup editors such as Yahoo Pipes! This paradigm has established the service composition within end users com- munity enabling them to meet their own needs, for instance by creating applications that do not exist. -
