Abstract

In this paper we present BPELlight which decouples processlogic from interface definitions. By extending BPEL 2.0 with a WSDLlessinteraction model, BPELlight allows to specify process models independentof Web service technology. Since its interaction model is basedon plain message exchange, it is completely independent of any interfacedescription language. This fosters flexibility and reusability of processmodels and enables modelling platform and component model independentbusiness processes. The presented approach takes a significant steptowards narrowing down the gap between business level and IT level byfacilitating a more business-oriented modelling of executable processes.
