OrViA — Orchestration and Validation of integrated Application systems


The goal of the research project OrViA is to specify, develop and prototypically deploy an architecture for the orchestration and validation of cooperative system components in mission-critical, domain-specific e-business environments. The considered environments are characterized by high requirements towards reliability of the execution of business processes as well as soft real-time requirements. The orchestration includes the partly automated transformation of business processes (e.g. Event-driven Process Chains) to executable workflow languages (e.g. BPEL). Inconsistencies and incompleteness’s of models will be identified at design time.


Experiences of involved small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) show that the full potential of business process models as a basis of a technical, system-spanning integration is not tapped. The procedure developed in OrViA combines approaches of the areas requirements engineering, model validation and model transformation. The use of the provided solution improves the effectiveness of communication between costumers, business experts, IT experts and quality managers. The tool supported identification of structural, semantic and pragmatic mistakes leads to a better quality management and improves the security and the reliability of the developed system as well. The elimination of error prone and time-intensive manual development steps enables quality and efficiency improvements that enhance the competitiveness of SMEs.


The project consortium is directed by IDS Scheer AG. Besides the Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena and the Fraunhofer IAO the Universität Leipzig is one of the research partners. The practical partners including Intershop Communications AG, DVZ M-V GmbH, GODYO AG, ISA GmbH and Truition GmbH c/o AGETO GmbH come from different application domains like the e-government and e-commerce domain.
