Abstract

The Business process automation has been getting very important within organizations, because it may be seen as a technology of components which replaces or supplements handwork in an effort to eliminate nonvalue-adding human interventions in the process. The Web Services composition through workflow modeling languages is considered an emerging paradigm that enables integration of internal applications and applications which cross organizational boundaries. This work presents a workflow language that use Web Services as components, an architecture for a run-time environment to this language and the advantages of the utilization of this kind of technology.

Keywords: Workflow, Workflow Languages, Web Services, Service-oriented architecture, business process
