BPSS has a
considerably different abstraction level than some other BP description
approaches.
It has a focus
on providing a declarative (but prescriptive) documentation of the BP
document exchange contracts among
participants.
It attempts to
describe the public process messaging flow and logic only, and not the
internal private state machine flows that produce or consume messages.
The kind of information used to control message flow is found in the
document types (or in selected document content, used to distinguish
among document types).
It has two
kinds of completion states, Success and Failure.
It provides
ways to specify a lot of QOS security and timing parameters that
describe requirements on the
implementations.
It has a set
of signals (positive and exceptions) that are associated with important
alignment milestones that are time limited (time to perform, time to
acknowledge acceptance of the request as a valid request, time to
acknowledge receipt).
It has a means
to require or constrain visibility of sub collaboration status and
events (visibility annotations).
I am afraid
that is more than 3 items, though. I am not sure what will be of most
interest. I would probably make up slides for all the main points and
try to guess in real time what might connect up to other participant
interests…

Subject: OMG Think
Tank
In addition to the Workshop, the Think Tank has
round table discussions. As Monica's substitute I will be leading one on
Business Process Choreography Using BPSS. Jeanne Baker has asked that
each discussion leader use 1 - 3 handouts with a short, big font
question or term to stimulate the discussion.
What are the 3 questions or terms you would use
to encourage discussion among a BPM oriented group to have them
understand the importance and key aspects of
eb-bp?
I would appreciate feedback from you and the
others on the TC. I will be sending this submission to OMG on Mon
morning ET. Monica and I have talked about the ppt & she will be
sending the revised set to OMG Mon am. I may have specific
questions next week.
