Runtime Configurable Service Process Model

Service process has been increasingly adopted in various domains with the development of service computing. As more and more service processes come to have complex business logic for changing business requirements, service process must have the ability to configure itself automatically in a certain business context. In this paper, we provide an approach to realize service process¡¯s self-configuration based on the process structure tree. In this way, context-based rules with business context are defined for each fragment in different hierarchy, and when the fragment is invoked, rules that meet the needs of the current environment are chosen and applied on the fragment, making the service flexible enough to always adapt itself to satisfy the context during the runtime.
