The development of distributed, heterogeneous applications has seen an explosion in both research and practical interest in recent years through techniques such as Business Process Modelling and Service-Oriented Architectures (in particular Web Service Architectures) that provide a new and flexible infrastructure. However, actual interoperation between different applications still largely requires manual design and implementation. This project will extend our earlier unique work in behaviour-based database integration and automated configuration of large systems to provide dynamic run-time interoperability of processes, based on behavioural and data interactions between distributed client and provider processes in a Web Services framework.

Researchers: Georg Grossmann, Wolfgang Mayer, Michael Schrefl, and Markus Stumptner
