| Guidelines |
| Since XML has become a de-facto standard for data representation and manipulation, there exists a huge amount of applications having their data represented in XML. However, since most of the applications are dynamic, sooner or later the structure of the data needs to be changed and so have to be changed also all related aspects. We speak about so-called evolution and adaptability of XML applications. One of the aspects of this problem is to adapt the respective business processes which process the data (e.g. Web Services specified using a BPEL script).
The aim of this work is a research on possibilities and limitations of adaptation of business processes with regard to changing data structures. First of all it is necessary to analyze existing solutions and to discuss their advantages and disadvantages. Next, the author should get acquainted with software project DaemonX [3], a general tool that enables adaptation of various types of data formats and queries. The core of the thesis should be proposal and implementation of a (preferably DaemonX) module that supports business process modelling and respective propagation of changes. The work will include experimental results. |
