(WfMC) and ADVANTYS, a leading vendor of Smart Enterprise Suite, announce a live demonstration of ASAP/Wf-XML interoperability at the Workflow and Business Process Management Seminar to be held at the Hotel Excelsior Hotel Excelsior occupied number 112/113, Königgrätzer Straße (today’s Stresemannstrasse ) on Askanischen Platz in the Berlin district of Kreuzberg. It was once one of the largest and most luxurious hotels in Europe but its destruction during World War II resigned it to the in Pisa, Italy on October 13th, 2004. The event is hosted by ADVANTYS. The WfMC has assembled a live demonstration of products that have implemented the Wf-XML 2.0 web commerce protocol. Wf-XML is built upon OASIS ASAP (chat) asap - As soon as possible. , so it is simultaneously a demonstration of ASAP interoperability. The demonstration will show six different implementations of the new web services (1) Loosely, any online service delivered over the Web. Such usage appears in articles from non-technical sources, but not in IT-oriented publications, because definition #2 below describes the correct use of the term. protocol and the exchange of data across the Internet. This will be both in front of the live audience and online with observers around the world via a webcast. Participants who have implemented the protocol include ADVANTYS, Fujitsu, HandySoft and TIBCO TIBCO The Information Bus Company who will demonstrate the scenarios of Customer, Retailer and Manufacturer. "The ASAP standard gives companies real-world benefits of business process interoperability Business process interoperability (BPI) is a state that exists when a business process can meet a specific objective automatically utilizing essential human labor only. Typically, BPI is present when a process conforms to standards that enable it to achieve its objective regardless without programming," said Keith Swenson, chairman of the WfMC Wf-XML Working Group, chair of the OASIS ASAP Technical Committee and chief architect of Fujitsu Software Corporation. "An example of quick, easy connections between systems supporting long-term processes would be the process cycle of buying a home, involving all players from the mortgage lender through geology reports to title search and closing. Wf-XML 2.0 will be available to extend ASAP with functionality specifically for BPM engines." "ADVANTYS is very proud to host this WfMC Seminar in Pisa. We designed the engine of our workflow product (WorkflowGen) based on the WfMC standards and since then we kept integrating the latest protocols like XPDL (XML Process Definition Language) An XML-based language from the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) for defining business processes. Whereas BPML and other business process languages are geared to Web services, the foundation of XPDL was based around a common or ASAP/Wf-XML and remained at the leading edge of technology for the benefit of our customers," says Alain Bezancon, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of ADVANTYS. "We value ADVANTYS' active support in the deployment of WfMC standards in their products. This seminar addresses the significant benefits that companies have enjoyed in optimizing business processes across organizations using different BPM engines," said Jon Pyke, WfMC chair. "The live web commerce protocol demonstration highlights the role of Wf-XML 2.0 and ASAP in enabling business process interoperability across some of the industry's most widely recognized BPM engines. The analogy we use is: when connecting telephones, you could wire the phones directly into the network, or you could provide a plug and socket that allows an ordinary user to plug the phone in. Wf-XML is that "plug 'n play process" for basic run-time connections." Over 1000 observers, mostly IT users, have registered to watch the demonstration online, and be informed of the results.
