ACLS Humanities E-Book XML Conversion Experiment: Report on Workflow, Costs, and User Preferences

May 5, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description
ACLS Humanities E-Book (HEB)—a subscription-based online collection of over 2,200 digital titles in the humanities—undertook an experiment to investigate the possibility of a future mass conversion of e-books preexisting in a scanned, page-image format into XML-encoded files. HEB hypothesized that such a conversion, if doable, would create an overall more user-friendly collection, as the resulting books would be text-based, allowing for easier access and export of contents, and would include interactive features such as links and enlargeable figures. This report presents the findings from the experiment.

May 2, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description
Numerous books abound for the beginning programmer who wants to learn XML, but there are few learning resources available for those who are already proficient in XML and need expert-level advice to help maximize their workflow. Advanced XML Applications from the Experts at The XML Guild provides such a resource, written by the expert programmers at The XML Guild. The book is not intended to be another exhaustive XML “bible,” rather, it’s a collection of advanced tips and techniques that the authors have used in the real world-and are now happy to share with you. Each chapter is written by the guild member considered to be the expert on a particular topic.

The Service-Oriented Media Enterprise: SOA, BPM, and Web Services in Professional Media Systems

April 29, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description
Companies worldwide are rapidly adopting Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), a design methodology used to connect systems as services, and Business Process Management (BPM), the art of orchestrating these services. Media organizations from news organizations to music and media download services to movie studios are adapting to SOA-style architectures, but have run into roadblocks unique to the media and entertainment industry. These challenges include incorporating real-time data, moving large amounts of data at one time, non-linearity and flexibility for workflow, and unique metrics and data gathering. The Service-Oriented Media Enterprise details the challenges and presents solutions for media technology professionals. By addressing both the IT and media aspects, it helps individuals improve current enterprise technologies and operations.

KEY BENEFITS
. A complete overview of SOA and BPM, specific for media-based organizations
. Technical information about SOA and BPM standards and how they are used
. A how-to guide for jump-starting SOA projects within the media enterprise
. Complete service example code and descriptions

Meta workflows as a control and coordination mechanism for exception handling in workflow systems

Product Description
This digital document is a journal article from Decision Support Systems, published by Elsevier in 2005. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.

Description:
A higher level control and coordination mechanism is required for exception handling in workflow systems. This paper describes such a framework based on events, states, and a new kind of process called a meta workflow. Meta workflows have five kinds of meta activities and facilitate control over base workflows. We describe the framework and illustrate it with examples to show its features. The paper gives an architecture for incorporating it into existing workflows and also provides a formal semantics of execution. This framework can be used in Web services, supply chains, and inter-organizational applications where coordination requirements are complex, and flexible and adaptable workflows are needed. It is also useful for handling not just failure recovery but also various kinds of special situations, which arise frequently in web-based applications.

BPEL-Tools im Vergleich: Open Source-BPEL-Tools und Oracle SOA Suite

April 28, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description
Schon seit einiger Zeit sind die Probleme der Softwareentwicklung wie zunehmende Komplexität und Heterogenität sowie fehlende Flexibilität bekannt. Einen viel versprechenden Ansatz in Bezug auf die beschriebenen Probleme stellt die Service-orientierte Architektur (SOA) dar. Auch IT-Trends wie das steigende Interesse an Prozessorientierung und Schwerpunkverlagerung von Anwendungsprogrammierung zu Anwendungsintegration fließen hier ein. Eine aussichtsreiche Lösung im Kontext prozessorientierter Softwareentwicklung basierend auf einer SOA ist die Business Process Execution Language (BPEL). Anatoliy Babiychuk erläutert in seinem Buch ausführlich die Grundlagen des Workflow-Managements und der SOA. Nachfolgend werden die BPEL-Konzepte vorgestellt. Auch dem zunehmenden Interesse an Open Source wird in diesem Buch Rechnung getragen. Eine Übersicht über die vorhandenen Open Source-Tools und ein Vergleich des am weitesten entwickelten Open Source-BPEL-Tools mit einem kommerziellen Werkzeug (Oracle Soa Suite) bilden die Schwerpunkte dieser Arbeit. Abschließend werden auch Migrationsmöglichkeiten von BPEL-Prozessen analysiert. Das Buch richtet sich an IT-Experten und interessierte Studenten.
