Abstract

WS-BPEL is imposing itself as a standard for orchestration of web services. However, there are still some well-known difficulties that make programming in WS-BPEL a tricky task. In this paper, we present BliteC, a software tool we have developed for supporting a rapid and easy development of WS-BPEL applications. BliteC translates service orchestrations written in Blite, a formal language inspired to but simpler than WS-BPEL, into readily executable WS-BPEL programs. We illustrate our approach by means of a few practical programming examples.
