Expressiveness Comparison and Interchange Facilitation between Business Process Execution Languages

业务流程管理领域的发展目前受到各种业务流程执行语言过多的阻碍。该项目将开发处理由这种语言异构性引起的互操作性问题的技术。该项目结合了以并发理论和工作流模式为基础的理论研究，以及专注于商业工具支持的语言的实用研究。其结果将是一个框架，用于比较流程执行语言的表达能力并定义它们之间的映射。这将使澳大利亚站在业务流程管理系统开发的前沿，业务流程管理系统是当今全球、动态和不同环境中的一项关键技术。

Developments in the area of business process management are currently hindered by the plethora of diverse business process execution languages. This project will develop techniques for dealing with interoperability issues induced by this language heterogeneity. The project combines theoretical research, grounded in concurrency theory and workflow patterns, with pragmatic research focusing on languages supported by commercial tools. The outcome will be a framework for comparing the expressiveness of process execution languages and defining mappings between them. This will place Australia at the forefront of developments in business process management systems: a crucial technology in today's global, dynamic, and heterogeneous environments.
