Having Service Oriented Architecture in your information system enables business agility, but business processes let your users put this agility to good uses.

At the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) '08 Congress (27th November, Lyon), Open Wide presented the results of its work in the SCOrWare research consortium, a 2 year, 10 partners, 2.5M€ research project funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR ). In this presentation and the companion flash demonstration (upcoming on this site), Mickaël Istria, Open Source Architect at Open Wide, shows how to get value out of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) thanks to Business Process Management (BPM) and especially workflows, and how a new "Task Engine Framework" along with the SCA (Service Component Architecture) standard and its OW2 Frascati implementation allows to integrate service-oriented interactions in any kind of Java process engine.
