ebPML is a site dedicated to the standards, technologies and products of Service Oriented Computing, Business Process Management and Model Driven Architectures.

My main interest is to contribute to the concept of Service Oriented Computing that was initially coined by Prof. Mike Papazoglou, with the hope to find an architecture and application model that will fully enable BPM and the convergence of EAI, B2B and application platforms like J2EE or .NET. I follow actively most BPM related standards: BPEL, BPEL4PEOPLE, BPMN, BPDL, XPDL, WS-CDL and ebBP. I was one of the editors of the ebBP 1.1. and 2.0 specifications. The PML section (Process Markup Languages) provides an analysis of the leading specifications. I have also started an effort to create the metamodel of the whole SOA specification stack, including the BPM related standards.

If you are new to the site the best places to start are:

• wsper, an abstract SOA framework

• This presentation which I gave as a guest of Prof. Vincenzo D'Andrea (Trento University) and Prof. Akhil Kumar (Penn State University). It summarizes my current thinking on Service Oriented Computing. Check also this article for a survey of Web services technologies.

• Here are some thoughts about why Composite Applications are going to become the application model of SOA.

• You may also want to check this white paper I wrote on Fundamentals of Service Orientation

• My blog or Blogroll for the latest buzz.

• The publication section contains all my papers (most of them are not refereed).

• The view of the SOC stack.

• The library contains lots of interesting articles. I also created the concept of "Glogs" (Google logs). This is the list of document (not web pages) generated via the Google web service API for a given set of keywords.
