Nautilus Event-driven Process Chains: Syntax, Semantics, and their Mapping to BPEL

Abstract: Nautilus Event-driven Process Chains (N-EPCs) are a variant of Eventdriven process chains allowing multiple events between functions. This allows events to be used as transition conditions in a mapping to the Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL). We will give a formal definition of N-EPCs and show how they can be mapped to BPEL. A close look will be taken how connectors can be eliminated while preserving their semantics.
