Abstract:
The design, implementation and management of inter-organizational business processes that operate across the Internet have to address a number of issues that do not normally arise for business processes that operate solely within an organization. A framework is needed which supports traditional business process management and which also has the technical infrastructure in place to address federated identity management, privacy compliance and performance management. In this paper, we examine how this can be accomplished in an architecture with built in event logging and privacy auditing that deploys processes defined in the Business Process Execution Language standard (BPEL) into a "Circle of Trust" (CoT) architecture as specified by the Liberty Alliance standard for federated identity management. A sample business process scenario is implemented in the proposed framework and evaluated.
