In this fascinating podcast, Michael Rowley, director of strategy and technology at Active Endpoints discusses the history of how the Business Process Modeling Language (BPMN) and the Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) were unfortunately “separated” at birth. He also describes why BPMN and BPEL belong together and what the current efforts in the standards organizations working on BPMN and BPEL are doing to re-unite these two critical standards for SOA-based development.

The good news is that SOA developers are the ultimate winners of the inevitable reconciliation of BPMN and BPEL, but as Rowley describes, the reconciliation isn’t intended — and indeed shouldn’t be — a perfect union.

Rowley concludes by describing what ActiveVOS 6.0 delivers today for SOA developers who want to work with BPMN and BPEL in a single, integrated, deployable product.

We hope you enjoy this podcast, and, as always, welcome your comments on this podcast.
