The future of BPEL

OASIS has been responsible for the further development of BPEL since April 2003. An OASIS technical committee, called WSBPEL TC, has been formed for the development of a new BPEL version, called WS-BPEL 2.0. The technical committee, which supervises and influences further development of BPEL, has many new members. This ensures that BPEL will be extended with new features and also ensures continuity of development. The number of participants involved in BPEL shows that industry support is large and still increasing. More information on WSBPEL TC can be found at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=wsbpel.
