Orchestra Project
•Project Orchestra defines workflows that combine several services into one value-added service
chain that achieves a certain goal. •Then they deploy such workflows as executable service
instances. In particular, the solution uses several services distributed over the network that are
orchestrated by an additional service that directly interacts with the client and executes the
workflow defined in WS-BPEL, using active BPEL, an Open Source BPEL engine. •The starting points
were the application of Data Flow Schemata, and UML Use Case and System Sequence Diagrams
describing the risk assessment functionalities. •These diagrams were prepared in cooperation with
the system end users during the requirements phase of the pilot development.
