Abstract

Innovations in web technologies during last years have caused changes in the way that Web Information Systems are developed. New tools such as XML or Web Services and new paradigms, such as Service Oriented Computing make IT analysts focus on business process. To implement these business process there are several technologies. The aim of this work is to analyze business process implementation possibilities by using existing technologies, but focusing on those that require a user interaction, such as: a process to buy a flight ticket or a process for billing approval. In this work, we follow a comprehensive method for business process development to get detailed business process models and then we analyze the implementation possibilities of the resulting models, describing advantages and disadvantages for each technology analyzed and pointing out a possible workaround.
