Hi Diane,
As the chair of the TC you
might like to pass this to the entire TC, even if he gets multiple answers,
I’m sure he will appreciate the guidance. You might also like to mention
the WS-BPEL Adoption TC. This might be the type of end user that might
be like to join?
Thanks,
Dee

Hi Dee
 
Thanks for the links to the
recently recorded webinars. 
 
I noted any questions not answered
during the session were being forwarded to the technical committee to respond.
 
I was wondering if you were
also accepting questions from those who viewed the webinar at a later date?
 
If so, could you please pass
along the following question:
 
Is BPEL only suited to workflow
involving Business (B2B) or System Integration (EAI), or can it also be
used as a workflow solution within a single application? 
 
The reason for the question
is we want to replace our inflexible in-house form submit/multi level approval
workflow process engine and our preference to re-inventing the wheel is
use a standards based open source solution if one exists. B2B and EAI may
be future requirements (hence our interest in BPEL), but currently this
is not required, as all tasks are human based.
 
Workflow requirements:
User defined workflow
Multiple approval levels
Each level assessed out of
order (eg parallel workflow) and be bi-directional
Directed to individual or group
(eg role)
Timeframes for redirection
of task based on days/hours.
Graphical monitoring of processes
during runtime.
Email advice to undertake task.
 
Do these requirements fit a
BPEL solution, or should we be investigating other technology’s?
 
Thanks
 
Dave
