Abstract

The Business Process Models and grid-enabled Service Oriented Architecture (BPMSOA) framework facilitates the enactment of a business process using application domain specific grid services. In this paper, we use a role-based instance of BPMSOA to enact the Search process of the digital libraries domain. Furthermore, in order to find the extent to which the BPMSOA contributes in bridging the gap between business process models and grid systems, an evaluation framework has been defined. Using this evaluation framework the structural, flow and informational translations are verified at different levels of the BPMSOA for correctness and consistency. In addition, the evaluation framework is used to validate the behavioural correctness of the process being enacted. The BPMSOA evaluation using the Search process reveals that the step by step model translations enable the Search process model to be enacted using Pi-Architectural Description Language (π-ADL) and to be executed using application domain specific grid services as a step towards bridging the gap between business process models and grid-enabled SOA (GSOA).
