Abstract.

Business Activity Management (BAM) is becoming one of the most critical areas to transform a business into an adaptive enterprise. To manage business activities and the related resources is a very complex task. BAM systems need to address potentially large number of business rules and unpredictable changes of business situations. Using BAM policies to drive BAM scenarios makes such challenging tasks practical and feasible. In this paper, we present a policy framework for Web-Service based BAM systems. We will cover the conceptual foundation, policy specification, policy architecture, and a case study for the framework and related components. Comparison with other similar works will be given at the end of this paper.
