A Toolkit for Choreographies of Services: Modeling, Enactment and Monitoring

The support of the business community has considerably urged the advancement of the SOA by bringing useful supporting standards, for instance for Web Services description and collaboration design. Nevertheless, as the platforms are getting wider over geographically distant locations, there is a real need of keeping the link between the design time and the runtime. Model to model approaches ensure this kind of link, and in this context, choreography models help answering such issues. We bring our know how as ESB and BPM experts and propose an open source toolkit for services choreography. This toolkit provides a way to design a choreography, execute it on an Enterprise Service Bus and finally to monitor it. A Model to Model (M2M) top-down approach is implemented. We illustrate our purpose thanks to a business use case inspired from the CHOReOS European Project.
