Abstract
The growing popularity of Service Oriented Computing based on Web services standards is creating a need for paradigms to represent and design business processes. Significant work has been done in the representation aspects with regards to WSBPEL. However, design and modeling of business processes is still an open issue. In this thesis, we present a novel designer which supports intuitive modeling of Web processes, using a template based approach for semi-automatically integrating partners either at design time or at deployment time. The process design and development tool described in this work helps process developers create complex business processes using an easy to use Graphical User Interface. The tool which provides a variety of features is developed as a plugin to Eclipse platform. This work has been done as part of the METEOR-S project at the Large Scale Distributed Information Systems (LSDIS) lab at The University of Georgia.
