Abstract

In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a business resource management framework (BRMF) that allows to manage various business resources on top of a peer-to-peer infrastructure which is highly scalable and resilient against node failure. It is geared towards the management of static business resources such as business documents, web service descriptions and business process specifications involved in business interactions among various partners. Additionally, it offers the possibility to incorporate management functionality for the control of active business resources such as web services and business process execution engines. It is shown how the BRMF can be used to implement an application that supports business process execution engines by realizing additional fault tolerance based on a distributed service registry.
