A Vocabulary and Execution Model for Declarative Service Orchestration

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 4928))

Abstract

In this paper we introduce the EM-BrA2CE Framework: a vocabulary and execution model for dynamic service orchestration that allows to combine many business rule types, independently of the used methods for knowledge representation and reasoning. The vocabulary is described in terms of the Semantics for Business Vocabulary and Rules (SBVR) and the execution model is presented as a colored Petri net (CP-Net).
