α BPaaS - A Customizable BPaaS on the Cloud

With the emergence of the Internet technologies notably, S OA and Cloud Computing enterprises are increasingly delivering their business services through online service offerings called Business Process as a Service (BPaaS). However, current BPaaS offerings can be pe rc iv d as monolithic cloud solutions that are constrained by the capabilities that are made available by t he provider at their delivery level and do not allow for easy extensibility or customization options. In this pa per, we propose a novel BPaaS engineering techniques which cater for the tailoring of services to specific b usiness needs using a mixture of SaaS, PaaS and IaaS solutions possibly from various providers. It is the p rime goal of our proposal to simplify the engineering of BPaaS applications by hiding the complexity of their d evelopment and deployment. This is achieved by providing a customization solution to manage all configur ation of functional and non functional aspects related to a BPaaS offering.
