Micro
Workflow, Dragos Manolescu
Dragos's site contains a lot of information based on his work on workflow
patterns, including his Ph.D. thesis on the same topic. He recently
joined me at ThoughtWorks
as a senior architect. I specifically like his site because his "mug
shot" is even worse than mine :-) |

Workflow
Patterns, Wil van der Aalst, Arthur ter Hofstede, Marlon
Dumas
The authors have been document workflow patterns for quite some
time and colected them in this Web site. Wil also wrote a good book
on Workflow Management.

ebpml.org
Jean-Jacques Dubray maintains an excellent site around process management
and service-oriented architectures. Many insignhtful articles around
process languages, pi-calculus and related topics. |

BPML
The Business Process Modeling Language specification at BPMI's site.
This workflow modeling specification predates Web services. Since,
some of the same player (under the leadership of Sun) have put forward
WSCI,
the Web Services Choreography Interface, which now competes with BPEL
(see below). |

Note on Distributed Computing, Samuel C. Kendall, Jim Waldo,
Ann Wollrath and Geoff Wyant, 1994
Object Management Group , 2002
10 years ago Waldo et al. aleady reminded us why attempting to make
distribution transparent to developers is a bad idea. I wish more
Web services architects read this paper.

UML
Profile for Enterprise Application Integration, Object Management
Group , 2002
A more formal approach to describing integration solutions, implemented
as a UML profile. While it uses some of the same vocabulary as our
patterns the focus is on a formal specification language whereas our
patterns provide guidance about proper usage and trade-offs. |
