Enhancing Business Workflows with Grid Technology: The BIS-Grid Project Overview

The BIS-Grid project explores the integration of Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) using Grid technology to enhance business workflows. It focuses on the benefits of using Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) in EAI, including improved organizational collaboration and technical flexibility. The project showcases workflows from various European and international Grid initiatives, discusses integration challenges, and highlights the security considerations vital for enterprise IT. This comprehensive approach aims to establish a proof of concept that demonstrates how Grid computing can revolutionize business processes.

  1. BIS-Grid:Business Workflows for the GridStefan Gudenkauf1, Felix Heine2, André Höing2, Guido Scherp11 OFFIS Institute for Information Technology2 Technical University of Berlin

  2. Agenda • The BIS-Grid Project • Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) • EAI with Grid Technology: Benefits • Workflows in Grid Computing • Partners / Scenarios • Technical Solution • Challenges • BIS-Grid Service • Architecture • Security Issues • Conclusion

  3. Enterprise Application Integration • Typical Components in Enterprise IT • Enterprise Resource Planning • Customer Relationship Management • Product Data Management • Additionally • Different Departments • Legacy Systems Integration Challenges • Integration of Information Systems • Workflow Support Service Oriented Architecture

  4. EAI with Grid Technology • SOA are the de-facto standard for EAI • (WSRF-) Grids are SOAs with extended capabilities So let's use Grids for EAI! • Benefits: • Organizational: New types of collaboration (B2B) and new business models • Technical: More flexibility, virtualisation layer, better resource usage, more dynamic • Goal of BIS-Grid: • Proof of Concept, Exemplary Scenarios, D-Grid Integrated Solution

  5. Workflows in Grid Computing • Workflows in many Grid projects, e.g.: • Germany: C3-Grid, InGrid, UNICORE, Fraunhofer Resource Grid • EU (FP5): GRASP, GRIA, GEMMS, OpenMolGrid, GridLab • EU (FP6): A-WARE, Akogrimo, Chemomentum, CoreGRID, DEISA, Diligent, EGEE, ELeGI, K-WF Grid, SIMDAT, UniGrids, SODIUM, TrustCoM • International: Askalon, DAGMan, g-Eclipse, GridANT, Gridbus, GriPhyN, ICENI, JOpera, Karajan, Kepler, TeraGrid, myGrid Scientific Workflows Business Workflows

  6. EAI: Classic Scenario

  7. Grid-based EAI

  8. CeWe Color Call-Center Process

  9. Partners in the Project

  10. Challenges • WS-BPEL / WSRF Integration • Use WS-BPEL to call WSRF Services • Make a WS-BPEL workflow available as WSRF Service • Use an existing WS-BPEL engine • UNICORE 6 Integration • Workflow-Engine as UNICORE 6 component • Scalability / Performance • Security / Policies • Accounting / Billing / Monitoring • Human Interaction in Workflows • Service Level Agreements

  11. BIS-Grid Service • How to teach WSRF to the WS-BPEL Engine? • e.g. ActiveBPEL: Source-Code is available • However: • Upgrade problems • No exchangeability of the WS-BPEL engine • Better Solution • Transparent WSRF Layer above WS-BPEL Engine WSRF Interface BIS-Grid Service Layer WS-BPEL Engine

  12. Architecture

  13. Conclusion • EAI is a main challenge in Enterprise IT • Grid Technology is a good basis for EAI • Benefits: • Additional Flexibility • New Business Models • New Collaborations • Innovative Technical Solutions • WSRF / WS-BPEL Integration • Scalable UNICORE / WS-BPEL Integration • BIS-Grid Service • Challenges: Performance, Security
