“…In our work we specifically target at ebBP BusinessTransactions that cover domainspecific characteristics of B2Bi document exchanges. In this area, the execution of RosettaNet PIPs [18], [19] or UMM BusinessTransactions [5], [20], [21] using Web Services or WS-BPEL has been researched. RosettaNet PIPs as well as UMM BusinessTransactions share a lot of concepts with ebBP BusinessTransactions.…”

Adequate IT support for Business-to-Business integration (B2Bi) is indispensable in today's globalized world. Agreement among personnel from different enterprises as well as distributed computing issues are major challenges to the automation of B2Bi processes. These challenges can be addressed by applying the choreography language ebXML BPSS (ebBP) for declaratively specifying B2Bi processes and using Web services and WS-BPEL as dedicated integration technologies. ebBP BusinessTransactions (BT) are the primary building block of ebBP choreographies and specify the exchange of up to two business documents in a declarative and technology-agnostic way. Composing BTs within choreographies and realization of QoS raise important requirements for the orchestration layer. This paper investigates these requirements and presents a composable, abstract, flexible and QoS-aware execution model that can be implemented using Web Services and BPEL.

“…The majority of these does not describe a proof-ofconcept implementation of a working translator ( [13]), does only consider BusinessTransactions and not BusinessCollaborations ( [19]), does not cover B2Bi QoS properties ( [10]), and/or derives BPEL from WS-CDL and not ebBP ( [12], [11]). As far as we know full support for ebBP QoS attributes during translation to BPEL has not yet been described.…”

Business-To-Business Integration (B2Bi) is a key mechanism for enterprises to gain competitive advantage. However, developing B2Bi applications is far from trivial. Inter alia, agreement among integration partners about the business documents and the control flow of business document exchanges, applying suitable communication technologies for overcoming heterogeneous IT landscapes as well as ensuring a Quality of Service (QoS) level that is sufficient for B2Bi are major challenges. In this context, applying choreography languages like ebXML BPSS (ebBP) for agreement among integration partners, orchestration languages like WS-BPEL for specifying partner-specific behavior, and Web Services for communication promises seamless interactions among business partners. In this scenario, the conformance of orchestration models to choreography models and cost-effective development are of paramount importance. Consequently, top-down approaches that automatically translate choreography models into orchestration models have been proposed. By now, the realization of QoS attributes has not yet received the necessary attention that makes such approaches suitable for B2Bi. In this paper, we describe a proof-of-concept implementation of a translation of ebBP choreographies into WS-BPEL orchestrations that respects B2Bi relevant QoS attributes.

“…The research work in [22] examines the BPMN-BPEL binding. In terms of UMM, work to map a global choreography defined in UMM to an ebXML business process specification [23] and to generate BPEL orchestrations from UMM business transactions [24] has already been done.…”

Abstract-Inter-organizational systems have significantly been affected by Service-oriented Architectures (SOA) and Web Services -the state-of-the-art technology to implement SOA. SOA is said to enable quick and inexpensive changes of the IT in order to establish new business partnerships or to reflect changes in existing partnerships. However, current approaches to inter-organizational systems focus too much on existing Web Services standards and, thus, on the technology layer. In such an approach the technology drives the business. In this paper we analyze the shortcomings of this bottom-up approach. As an alternative we suggest a top-down methodology where the business requirements drive the technology. This methodology starts off with the business value perspective, leading to a business process perspective and resulting in an IT execution perspective. We do not invent any new approaches on each of these layers, rather we outline how existing approaches are used and combined into a business requirements driven approach to inter-organizational systems.
