Securing Workflows with XACML, RDF and BPEL
نویسندگان
چکیده
The XACML is the access controller of the World Wide Web (WWW). The current reference implementation has a single policy decision point and a policy enforcement point. If XACML policies are used to control workflow among cooperating web services, such as those envisioned in more contemporary languages like (BPEL), it requires coordination to be policy compliant. We propose the necessary enhancements required to do so by passing contextual information that are needed for the requester to evaluate an access control decision as opposed to the standard four decision values of permit, deny, indeterminate to make a decision and an unforeseeable error occurred during evaluation. Proposed contextual information is sufficient to coordinate and if necessary synchronize among coordinating policy enforcement points distributed among the WWW. We show how the contextual information can be constructed and verified using the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and the coordination implemented using BPEL.

Towards Simulation Workflows with Bpel: Deriving Missing Features from Gricol
In this paper, we investigate the suitability of the generalpurpose workflow language BPEL to create executable simulation workflows. We therefore compare BPEL to GriCoL, a graphical language with proven applicability for simulation workflows in Grid environments. We discover a number of incomparable concepts in the two languages. On the one hand, BPEL’s unique features in comparison to GriCoL ...
متن کاملMaintaining WS-BPEL Workflows Using Aspects
In Service Oriented systems organisational processes are represented as WS-BPEL workflows, WS-BPEL is different from traditional workflow languages as a hybrid of block-based and graph-based language; it also has limited support for separation of concerns. Changes to such processes usually impact many places in the underlying system, without separating such cross-cutting concerns system mainten...

From BPEL Processes to YAWL Workflows
BPEL is currently the most widespread language for composing Web services, but it lacks formal semantics. YAWL is a workflow language with a well defined formal semantics that implements the most common workflow patterns. In this paper we provide a methodology for translating BPEL processes into YAWL workflows, thus paving the way for the formal analysis, aggregation and adaptation of BPEL proc...
متن کاملEin modellgetriebener Ansatz zur Nutzung von WS-BPEL für Scientific Workflows
Scientific Workflows haben sich zunehmend in diversen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen etabliert, um die Modellierung komplexer Prozessierungsketten und deren Ausführung in verteilten Infrastrukturen wie Grids zu unterstützen. Mit der Einführung von Service-orientierten Architekturen im betrieblichen Kontext und deren Adoption in Grid-Infrastrukturen, haben sich Scientific Workflows und Business ...
