Using BPEL for Behavioral Concepts in ODP Computational Language.

This paper describes specification and execution of behavioral concepts for Open Distributed Processing (ODP) Computational Language. Open Distributed Processing - ODP is introduced as a general framework upon which open distributed system can be modeled through the viewpoint concept and the use of an object oriented language (Unified Modeling Language UML). The behavior of an ODP system is determined by collecting all possible actions in which the system (acting as an object), or any of its constituent objects, might take part, together with a set of constraints on when these actions can occur. In order to specify the executable behavior of a system and to make the processes of the Computational executable and controllable, the Reference Model for ODP RM-ODP can be used as a meta-model for behavioral specifications. In the Computational language, the behavior is a collection of actions with a set of constraints on when they may occur. Firstly, we give the description and specification of the behavior by the activity diagrams. Secondly, we define the mapping from the concepts of behavior Computational language to BPEL concepts and we present the syntax and the structure of a BPEL Behavior process. Then we generate the corresponding BPEL and computational files to implement the specified process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
