However, to the best of our knowledge, few effort from the industry and academia has addressed the dynamic change problems of BPEL process. This paper proposes a reflective approach to solve this problem. In this paper, a formal meta-object model of process instance is defined; the behavioral consistency criterion based on this model is proposed; a set of modification primitives are given to modify the meta-object while keeping the change atomic and consistent; and in addition, the MOP is offered to provide the programming interfaces for dynamic BPEL process change.展开更多

Base-level architecture is the ordinary architecture; meta-level represents and manipulates the reusable meta-information of base-level architecture explicitly. Through reflection, the modification of meta-level architecture will result in the modification of the architecture in base-level. Then we can gain a new base-level architecture design. In this paper, we use π-calculus to define the constituents and their interaction processes of RMRSA, by these definition, we specify the business function in base-level at runtime, and illustrate the reflection mechanism between the base-level architecture and meta-level architecture.展开更多
