Abstract

Reliability is one of the main challenge that encounter Web servicescompositions. Due to the inherent autonomy and heterogeneity of Webservices it is difficult to predict the behavior of the overallcomposite service.Current related technologies are unable to resolve this problemefficiently. These technologies rely on two existing strongapproa-ches: transactional processing and workflow systems. In onehand transactional processing ensures reliability. However, they aretoo rigid to support process based applications like composite Webservices. On the other hand, workflow systems focus mainly oncoordination and organizational aspects and ignore reliabilityissues.In this paper we propose a new solution that combines the businessprocess adequacy of workflow systems and the reliability oftransactional processing. We introduce the concept of transactionalpatterns to ensure reliable composite services. A transactionalpattern can be seen as a convergence concept between workflowpatterns and advanced transactional models. We show how we use it todefine composite services and how we ensure their reliabilityaccording to the designers specific needs.

Overview of transactional patterns: combining workflow flexibility and transactional reliability for composite web services
BPM'05: Proceedings of the 3rd international conference on Business Process Management

In this paper, we present an approach to easily define flexible and reliable services compositions. We introduce a new concept called transactional patterns to specify flexible and reliable composite Web services. A transactional pattern is a ...
Ensuring Customised Transactional Reliability of Composite Services

Web services are defined independently of any execution context. Due to their inherent autonomy and heterogeneity, it is difficult to examine the behaviour of composite services, especially in case of failures. This paper is interested in ensuring ...
Event-Based Design and Runtime Verification of Composite Service Transactional Behavior

Different from process components, Web services are defined independently from any execution context. A key challenge of (Web) service compositions is how to ensure reliable execution. Due to their inherent autonomy and heterogeneity, it is difficult to ...
