Abstract:
The implementation of service orchestration is often seen as a convoluted process for business analysts, lead developers and architects. In this document, we propose a new approach based on a continuous process starting from the analysis phase to the architecture phase as an attempt to standardize the implementation of service orchestration. Our ultimate goal is to have a BPEL (Business Process Execution Language) script which will be interpreted by an engine residing inside a middleware generating a composition of elements where each element can be considered as an independent component equipped with a Web service. Orchestration definition contains several facets such as logical, pragmatic and architectural aspects; each of them is complementary and the interaction between them usually raises conflicts. In our approach, these issues are addressed and solved by adaptation rules and the problem of adapting the software architecture onto a physical architecture is solved by the pragmatism method.
