abstract = {With this research we propose the implementation of a overlay restful API for
3D printers to expose these machines to the Internet for utilization within
cloud services. This is to abstract the underlying communication structure and
means for accessing and controlling a 3D printer resource which is performed in
one of three ways. The ®rst method of accessing and controlling a 3D printer
is via a proprietary protocol or a printer driver in Microsoft Windows. The
second method is the control via a USB-serial connection between a controlling
computer and the printer resource. This protocol can either be proprietary or
based on open standards like GCODE (ISO 6983-1:2009). The third method of
control is based on physical storage devices attached to the printer with
machining instructions stored on them. This research excludes the communication
and control means involving proprietary protocols or drivers due complexity
restrictions within the implementation. The approach is designed with
extensibility in mind so that future access to proprietary protocols can be
added to the control API. Printer resources with only the third control method
available are also excluded from this research as they are currently lacking
the capability to be remotely controlled. This work describes the design and
implementation of an abstraction API layer between varying soft- and hardware
components with an extensible architecture for future hard- and software
components for within the domain of Additive Manufacturing (AM).},

abstract = {Software as a Service (SaaS) is a new delivery model for software. Software in
a SaaS model is no longer run exclusively for one customer at a customer’s
premise but run at a service provider and accessed via the Internet. A provider
of Software as a Service exploits economies of scale by hosting and providing
the same application for several different customers. However, each individual
customer has different requirements for the same basic application. In order to
allow each customer to customize the process layer and related artifacts of a
SaaS application to their specific needs the application needs to provide a set
of variability points that can be modified by customers. In this paper we
describe the notion of a variability descriptor that defines variability points
for the process layer and related artifacts of process-based, service-oriented
SaaS applications. Furthermore we describe how these variability descriptors
can be transformed into a WS-BPEL process model that can then be used to guide
a customer through the customization of the SaaS application.},

mechanism to define an operation by means of message exchange patterns (MEPs).
In this paper we identify new MEPs and extend the template used to define MEPs
to allow expressing more complex patterns. Furthermore, we compare the
expressivity of MEPs in general with other work and formalisms in the field of
service interaction. We give a refined definition of MEPs based on a detailed
discussion and discuss how WSDL and the MEPs in particular can be combined with
the choreography approach.},

solution eliminating the presumed complexity of the WS-* standards may be in
sight: advocates of REpresentational State Transfer (REST) have come to believe
that their ideas explaining why the World Wide Web works are just as applicable
to solve enterprise application integration problems and to simplify the
plumbing required to build service-oriented architectures. In this paper we
objectify the WS-* vs. REST debate by giving a quantitative technical
comparison based on architectural principles and decisions. We show that the
two approaches differ in the number of architectural decisions that must be
made and in the number of available alternatives. This discrepancy between
freedom-from-choice and freedom-of-choice explains the complexity difference
perceived. However, we also show that there are significant differences in the
consequences of certain decisions in terms of resulting development and
maintenance costs. Our comparison helps technical decision makers to assess the
two integration styles and technologies more objectively and select the one
that best fits their needs: REST is well suited for basic, ad hoc integration
scenarios, WS-* is more flexible and addresses advanced quality of service
requirements commonly occurring in enterprise computing.},

is both comprehensive and comprehensible. Our design method identifies the

help to address this challenge by describing recurring EAI problems and

documentation only used by systems architects and developers to decide how to
implement an integration solution. Thus, patterns do not specify how to produce
the code that will actually implement the solution described by the pattern on
a specific middleware. In this paper we introduce a framework that provides
configuration capabilities for EAI patterns. The framework also allows to

two kinds of BPEL processes that are defined in the BPEL standard. An abstract

executable through ``executable completion''. The BPEL standard defines a set of
rules that must be obeyed during such an executable completion. In this paper,
we present an algorithm for validating whether an executable BPEL process is a
valid executable completion of an abstract BPEL process. Our approach advances
the existing XML comparison algorithms in a way that it takes the BPEL-specific
characteristics into account and is optimized towards the validation of
``executable completion'' of abstract BPEL processes.},

abstract = {In enterprise application development and other software construction projects,
a critical success factor is to make sound architectural decisions. Text
templates and tool support for capturing architectural decisions exist, but
have failed to reach broad adoption so far. One of the inhibitors we perceived
on large-scale industry projects is that architectural decision capturing is
regarded as a retrospective and therefore unwelcome documentation task which
does not provide any benefit during the original design work. A major problem
of such a retrospective approach is that the decision rationale is not
available to decision makers when they identify, make, and enforce decisions.
Often a large, possibly distributed, community of decision makers is involved
in these three steps. In this paper, we propose a new conceptual framework for
proactive decision identification, decision maker collaboration, and decision
enforcement. Based on a meta model capturing reuse and collaboration aspects
explicitly, our framework instantiates decision models from requirements models
and re usable decision templates. These templates capture know ledge gained on
other projects em ploy ing the same architectural style. As an exemplary
application of these concepts to service-oriented architecture shows, reusable
architectural decision models can speed up the decision identification and
improve the quality of the decision making. Reusable architectural decision
models can also simplify the exchange of architecture design rationale within
and between project teams, and expose decision out come as model transformation
parameters in model-driven software development.},

The technique consists of two parts: Firstly, the process model is decomposed
into single-entry-single-exit (SESE) fragments, which are usually substantially
smaller than the original process. This decomposition is done in linear time.
Secondly, each fragment is analyzed in isolation using a fast heuristic that
can analyze many of the fragments occurring in practice. Any remaining
fragments that are not covered by the heuristic can then be analyzed using any
known complete analysis technique.
We used our technique in a case study with more than 340 real business
processes modeled with the IBM WebSphere Business Modeler. The results suggest
that control-flow analysis of many real process models is feasible without
significant delay (less than a second). Therefore, control-flow analysis could
be used frequently during editing time, which allows errors to be caught at
earliest possible time.},

abstract = {In a Web service world, the Web Services Business Process Execution Language
(WS-BPEL) is the standard used to compose Web services into business processes.
These processes are often long-running. Therefore WS-BPEL employs a
long-running transaction model to handle the internal transactions of a WS-BPEL
process. WS-Business Activity (WS-BA) is a set of mechanisms and protocols to
coordinate a set of Web Services into a long-running compensation-based
transaction. Up to now, it was not possible to let parts of a WS-BPEL process
participate in a WS-BA coordination. We show how WS-BA needs to be extended to
allow parts of a WS-BPEL process to participate in a WS-BA coordination, which
is supervised by an external coordinator. In addition our approach allows
external partners to participate in these modified internal WS-BA transactions
initiated by a WS-BPEL process and also allows for easy incorporation of BPEL
sub-processes into the proposed coordination model. The architecture of a
prototype implementing our approach is sketched.},

global perspective and specify allowed service conversations. Choreographies
typically do not rely on static binding, i.e. the participating services are
not selected at design-time of the choreography. Some services might only be
selected at runtime and this selection has to be propagated in the case of
multi-lateral conversations. Hence, the notion of service referrals (also
called link passing mobility) is recurrent in choreographies. In past work, we
have proposed BPEL extensions for describing service choreographies, namely
BPEL4Chor. This paper closely investigates the link passing mobility
capabilities of BPEL4Chor and illustrates their semantics using Pi-calculus.},

services. We present the results of an online experiment, where subjects were
confronted with a variety of choices and decisions relating to web service
markets and service composition. Our analysis shows that people expect the
price of a composite web service to be lower than the sum of the prices of the
elementary services, i.e., users are not willing to pay for aggregation by a
third party. To obtain a viable business model for composed web services,
non-standard pricing mechanisms, such as auctions and negotiations, possibly
supported by electronic agents, have to be taken into consideration.
Usage-based pricing schemes, combined with an option to switch to a flat
subscription, seem most appropriate to penetrate the developing web service
market.},

emphasized by sketching the inclusion of human tasks in orchestrations.

outlined (“semantic processes”) which aims in simplifying the creation of

abstract = {This document presents a Services Research Roadmap that launches four pivotal,
inherently related, research themes to Service-Oriented Computing (SOC):
service foundations, service composition, service management and monitoring and
service-oriented engineering. Each theme is introduced briefly from a
technology, state of the art and scientific challenges standpoint. From the
technology standpoint a comprehensive review of state of the art, standards,
and current research activities in each key area is provided. From the state of
the art the major open problems and bottlenecks to progress are identified.
During the during seminar each core theme was initially introduced by a leading
expert in the field who described the state of the art and highlighting open
problems and important research topics for the SOC community to work on in the
future. These experts were then asked to coordinate parallel workgroups that
were entrusted with an in-depth analysis of the research opportunities and
needs in the respective theme. The findings presented in this summary report
build on the advice of those panels of experts from industry and academia who
participated in this Dagstuhl Seminar and met at other occasions during the
past three years, e.g., at the International Conference on Service Oriented
Computing (ICSOC, see www.icsoc.org). These experts represent many disciplines
including distributed computing, database and information systems, software
engineering, computer architectures and middleware and knowledge
representation.},

abstract = {WS-coordination and WS-CF provide support for distributed activities that
require coordination in an environment of Web services. Both specifications are
generic coordination frameworks, not specific for any application. Despite
their generic character, up to now only transactional protocols have been
defined, which leverage these coordination frameworks. In this work we map a
distributed activity, that it is not related to transactions, onto the
coordination model underlying WS-coordination and WS-CF. Consequently we
identify the necessary characteristics of a distributed activity that leverages
the coordination frameworks of WS-coordination and WS-CF. We also examine
limits of these coordination frameworks and suggest additional mechanisms where
support for coordination in particular use cases is not sufficient. In contrast
to coordinating distributed transactions, additional problems could arise when
other types of activities are subject to coordination. These problems are
studied, classified and reviewed in conjunction with the architectural
differences of WS-coordination and WS-CF.},

especially by the fact that portType and operation names are hard-coded in the

substitution WS-flows flexibility can be improved, while reusability is
enhanced. We introduce a meta-model extension to enable run time evaluation of
parameter values and thus discard the need to predict any possible partner
service types during process modeling. The extension enables also run time
changes in portType values. We show how the approach can be mapped to BPEL. We
discuss prototypical implementation for the extended functionality and present
conclusions and ideas for future work.},

abstract = {The existing Web service flow (WS-flow) technologies enable both static and
dynamic binding of participating Web services (WSs) on the process model level.
Adaptability on per-instance basis is not sufficiently supported and therefore
must be addressed to improve process flexibility upon changes in the
environment. Ad-hoc process instance changes can be enabled by swapping
participating WS instances, by modifying port types of the partners to be
invoked, and by changing process logic. In this work, we address the problem of
dynamic binding of WSs to WS-flow instances at run time, i.e. the ability to
exchange a WS instance participating in a WS-flow instance with an alternative
one. The problem is additionally complicated by the fact that the execution of
a process depends on its deployment. We describe the ``find and bind'' mechanism,
and we show its representation as a BPEL extension. We discuss the benefits
that could be gained and the disadvantages it brings in. The mechanism extends
and improves the existing process technologies. It facilitates a precisely
controlled policy-based selection of WSs at run time and also provides for
process instance repair, while maintaining simplicity. We also discuss a
prototypical implementation of the presented functionality.},

IT-supported business operations from a business expert's view rather than from
a technical perspective. However, the degree of mechanization in BPM is still
very limited, creating inertia in the necessary evolution and dynamics of
business processes, and BPM does not provide a truly unified view on the
process space of an organization. We trace back the problem of mechanization of
BPM to an ontological one, i.e. the lack of machine-accessible semantics, and
argue that the modeling constructs of semantic Web services frameworks,
especially WSMO, are a natural fit to creating such a representation. As a
consequence, we propose to combine SWS and BPM and create one consolidated
technology, which we call semantic business process management (SBPM).},

processes accessible within and across enterprises. The business logic
encapsulated inside Web Services often resides in already existing
transactional backend-systems. However, the scope of these systems is normally
limited to their domain and is not distributed across heterogeneous
environments.
In this paper, we investigate the impact of the emerging Web Service technology
on transactional backend-systems: Transactional context needs to propagate from
activities or even business processes to services they use. Negotiations
between service requestors and services on context to be propagate can be done
automatically based on policies attached to the corresponding Web Service
descriptions. Corresponding standards and mechanisms form the basis of a new
computing and middleware paradigm: the Business Grid.
Some exemplary research work to be done to actually build the outlined Business
Grid environment is sketched.},

be offered as services that can be used and composed in a loosely-coupled
manner. Subsequently, the aggregation of services to form composite
applications and maximize reuse is key. While choreography has received the
most attention, services often need to be aggregated in a much less constrained
manner. As a number of different mechanisms emerge to create these
aggregations, their relation to each other and to prior work is useful when
deciding how to create an aggregation, as well as in extending the models
themselves and proposing new ones. In this paper, we discuss Web services
aggregation by presenting a first-step classification based on the approaches
taken by the different proposed aggregation techniques. Finally, a number of
models are presented that are created from combinations of the above.},

business processes should be performed. Processes are typically modeled as
annotated activity graphs. We present an approach for a system that constructs
process models from logs of past, unstructured executions of the given process.
The graph so produced conforms to the dependencies and past executions present
in the log. By providing models that capture the previous executions of the
process, this technique allows easier introduction of a workflow system and
evaluation and evolution of existing process models. We also present results
from applying the algorithm to synthetic data sets as well as process logs
obtained from an IBM Flowmark installation.},

abstract = {Workflow management systems are used today to realize advanced, distributed
application systems, e.g. to support and control real world business processes
like ofice procedures. With the increase of sophistication of these application
systems a flexible transaction concept is required to be added to the workflow
management system. Business processes exploiting such advanced transaction
features are often referred to as ``business transactions''. We propose to
support business transactions by compensation based partial backward recovery
of the control flow within an instance of a business process. Work units of a
business process which are defined to be potentially subject to such kind of
recovery are introduced as ``spheres of joint compensation''. For the workflow
management system IBM FlowMark we show in detail how its metaodel can be
extended to support spheres of joint compensation.

abstract = {Continuous process improvement (CPI) may require a BPEL process to be split
amongst different participants. In this paper, we enable splitting standard
BPEL — without requiring any new middleware for the case of flat flows. The
solution also supports splitting loops and scopes that have compensation and/or
fault handlers. When splitting loops and scopes, we extend existing Web
services standards and frameworks in a standard compliant manner in order to
support the resulting split control (not data) between the fragments. Data
dependencies, however, are handled directly using BPEL constructs placed in the
fragments even for split loops and scopes.
We present a solution that uses a BPEL process, partition information, and
results of data-flow analysis to produce a BPEL process for each participant.
The collective behavior of these participant processes recreates the control
and data flow of the non-split process. Previous work presented process
splitting using a variant of BPEL where data flow is modeled explicitly using
``data links''. We reuse the control flow aspect from that work as well as the
control flow aspect from our work on splitting loops and scopes, focusing in
this paper on maintaining the data dependencies in standard BPEL.},

confronted with a variety of choices and decisions relating to web service

price of a composite web service to be lower than the sum of the prices of the
elementary services, that is, users are not willing to pay for aggregation by a
third party. To obtain a viable business model for composite web services,
non-standard pricing mechanisms, such as auctions and negotiations, possibly
supported by electronic agents, have to be taken into consideration.
Usage-based pricing schemes, combined with an option to switch to a flat
subscription, seem most appropriate to penetrate the developing market for web
services.},

Web services and BPEL (Business Process Execution Language for Web services)
allow both, the description of business processes, and the description of the
interaction between these business processes and their partners. Business
processes run within Workflow Managements Systems. Based on the foundation laid
out by Web services and BPEL, this paper describes the implementation of a
Workflow Management System. To satisfy the requirements of today´s business
world, a Workflow Management System has to support long-running, interruptible
business processes as well as short-running business processes, both with a
multitude of different Quality-of-Service (QoS) characteristics. Workflow
Management Systems have to be robust, secure, and highly available. This paper
discusses the implementation of a J2EE-based Workflow Management System that
delivers on these requirements. The discussion involves the use of message
queuing systems and relational databases when implementing the Workflow
Management System, as well as its integration into a standard application
server architecture, and the use of the services provided there like
transaction manager, EJB container, people directory, and deployment
infrastructure.},

abstract = {Information integration has two fundamental aspects, data integration and
function integration. Function integration is based on flow technology and
adapter technology, and both of these add powerful capabilities to information
integration. They provide access to a huge variety of data sources, such as
standard applications, home-grown backend systems, and Web services. For
accesses that are not restricted to read operations, flows can help in managing
units of work across these data stores. When a database system is coupled with
a flow engine, all of these capabilities are made available to database
applications.},

Based on the exploitation of workflow management systems in practice three
essential requirements for transaction support for workflows result: First, the
WFMS must perform manipulations of its own resources under transaction
protection. Next, the ability of protected invocations of transactions as well
as their grouping into distributed transactions must be provided. Finally,
support of long running transactions resulting from the semantics of the
represented business processes has to be ensured.},

effective and productive. Consequently, existing applications must be modified,
and new applications must be written. The new applications typically run in a
distributed and heterogeneous environment, performing single tasks in parallel,
and demanding special transaction functionality for the supporting
environments. Workflow-based applications offer this type of capability. In
this paper, their principal advantages are derived and set in context to
transaction, object, and CASE (computer-assisted software engineering)
technology. In particular, a method is proposed to develop these workflow-based
applications in a cohesive and consistent way.},

across a broad spectrum of applications and across enterprises. It is thus
important to encapsulate database technology, i.e. to become independent of
particular vendors of database systems and database paradigms. The base for
this is a database system called ‘neutral repository’ providing its own
services for manipulating and defining data. We describe the fundamentals of
the neutral repository.},

processes. We describe a system that supports the two fundamental aspects of
business process management, namely the modeling of processes and their
execution. The meta-model of our system deals with models of business processes
as weighted, colored, directed graphs of activities; execution is performed by
navigation through the graphs according to a well-defined set of rules. The
architecture consists of a distributed system with a client/server structure,
and stores its data in an object-oriented database system.},

abstract = {Reasoning with large amounts of data together with ontological knowledge is
becoming a pertinent issue. In this chapter, we will give an overviewof
well-known ontology repositories, including native stores and database based
stores, and highlight strengths and limitations of each store. We take Minerva
as an example to analyze ontology storage in databases in depth, as well as to
discuss efficient indexes for scaling up ontology repositories. We then discuss
a scalable reasoning method for handling expressive ontologies, as well as
summarize other similar approaches. We will subsequently delve into the details
of one particular ontology language based on Description Logics called WSML-DL
and show that reasoning with this language can be done by a transformation from
WSML-DL to OWL DL and support all main DL-specific reasoning tasks. Finally, we
illustrate reasoning and its relevance by showing a reasoning example in a
practical business context by presenting the Semantic Business Process
Repository (SBPR) for systemical management of semantic business process
models. As part of this, we analyze the main requirements on a such a
repository. We then compare different approaches for storage mechanisms for
this purpose and show how a RDBMS in combination with the IRIS inference engine
provides a suitable solution that deals well with the expressiveness of the
query language and the required reasoning capabilities even for large amounts
of instance data.},
