Workflow Modeling for WS-BPEL-based Service Orchestration in SMEs

The BIS-Grid project, a project in the context of the German D-Grid initiative, investigates Grid and Cloud service orchestration for information systems integration, especially when crossing enterprise boundaries. Small and medium enterprises shall be enabled to integrate heterogeneous business information systems and to use external resources and services with affordable effort. In this paper, we present the workflow modeling method that we developed within the BIS-Grid project.
