Four years in the making, WS-BPEL 2.0 has emerged as the definitive standard to define stateful, complex and, robust service orchestrations. But why does WS-BPEL exist, what role does WS-BPEL play in a Service Oriented Architecture, and where is WS-BPEL being used? This session will introduce you to the benefits and constructs of WS-BPEL 2.0, where it fits within the SOA stack, and cover some upcoming standardized extensions to WS-BPEL, in particular BPEL4People and WS-HumanTask.

 

Speaker Bio: Michael Pellegrini is a Principal Architect in the Office of the CTO at Active Endpoints, Inc. For the past 15 years, he has worked for both leading software vendors and IT organizations in moving technology solutions from early-adoption to mainstream acceptance.

Service-oriented architectures (SOAs) have evolved over the past few years out of the original vision of loosely coupled web services replacing constrained, stovepiped applications throughout enterprise IT. Every major enterprise technology vendor today has developed its own SOA strategy, supported by innumerable mid-size companies and start-ups offering specific SOA aspects or entire solutions. This explosive growth in SOA technology is in response to a global demand--IDC estimates that spending on SOA services alone will grow from $8.6 billion to more than $33 billion by 2010.
