PGM/F: A Framework for the Optimization of Data Processing in Business Processes

Workflow languages like BPEL are broadly adopted by industry to integrate the heterogeneous applications and data stores of an enterprise. Leading vendors provide extensions to BPEL that allow for a tight integration of data processing capabilities into the process logic. Business processes exploiting these capabilities show a remarkable potential for optimization. In this demonstration, we present PGM/F, a framework for the optimization of data processing in such business processes.
