RE: [ebxml-bp] BPSS evolution

Hello All,

I am new to the TC, so please forgive my ignorance of protocol.  Is there a
primer of some sort that I could read in order to get up to speed our
agenda, goals, and procedures?  I look forward to working with you all and
being a productive contributor.

Best,

-Chuck

Subject: [ebxml-bp] BPSS evolution


hi:

here is a list of possible directions to evolve ebXML BPSS:

1. Control flow: 1.01 / 1.1 BPSS control is based on modified UML  activity
diagram semantics. This is a bit limiting and UML is changing these
semantics in UML 2.0
    a. we could liaise with ws-chor and see if we could reference a ws-chor
definition for a business transaction, binary and multiparty collaboration
definitions.
    b. we could look at the work of Will Van Der Aalst if liaison with
ws-chor is not possible
2. Business Transactions: 1.01 / 1.1 BPSS BT Message Exchange Pattern is not
general enough
    We could extend the definition of BT (or other concepts) via different
MEPs
3. Business Transaction Protocol: 1.01/1.1 Embedded in the BPSS spec
    a. we could liaise with ws-caf or other relevant BTP groups and specify
their usage in the context of BPSS rather than 
4. Specify a WSDL binding for the BSI: 1.01/1.1 currently no work has been
done in this direction.
5. Allow for a mixed mode: business transaction / web service within a
collaboration definition. 
6. Orchestration / Choreography / Collaboration architecture and bindings
    Today there is still a lot of confusion on these concepts. We need to
provide a better picture on how these concepts play together in a common
architecture.

7. I have a few more but I would like for other to propose them

It would be good also if we could surface the issue of web services
alignement to all ebXML working groups.
