Choreography-based Consolidation of Interacting Processes Having Activity-based Loops

Abstract

Choreographies describe the interaction between two or more parties. The interaction behavior description might contain loops. In case two parties want to merge their behavior to gain competitive advantage, the contained loop constructs also have to be merged. This paper presents a language-independent discussion on loop-structure pairing in choreographies and possible merging strategies. Thereby, the focus is turned on loops grouping child activities to be iterated. We show the feasibility of the merging strategies by applying them to BPEL-based choreographies.
