Realizing Adaptive Business Objects through BPEL

Adaptive Business Objects (ABO) is a solution composition architecture for modeling e-Business applications and is part of IBM�s On Demand Initiative. It seamless integrates people, processes and information in a way that eases development and maintenance of Business Transformation Solutions (e-Transformation). Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL4WS/BPEL) is an industry wide effort for web service composition and promises to be the enabler of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). In this work we detail the realization of the Adaptive Business Objects modeling paradigm through the BPEL execution mechanism by specifying a set of mapping rules. We also provide an analysis of BPEL pointing to areas which require future attention.
