In this fascinating podcast, Luc Clément, senior director of products, and Michael Rowley, director of technology and strategy, discuss two very important topics in business process management systems (BPMS): workflow and rich internet applications (RIA). First, Michael overviews the progress that’s been made in the BPEL4People technical committee towards finalizing both the BPEL4People and WS-Human Task standards, hopefully by the end of this year. Then, he elaborates on how these standards change workflow forever and offer BPM development teams apabilities that make it easy to integrate human tasks into automated processes.

Then, Luc describes a a new SDK for ActiveVOS that permits Java developers to take advantage of the WS-Human Task worklist management capabilities. Luc and Michael point out that this Java SDK is just the beginning of what they are planning in ActiveVOS 7.0.

In a more detailed preview of ActiveVOS 7.0 than they have provided in previously, Michael and Luc discuss the architectural value of “eliminating” the presentation tier while coupling an AJAX-based, drag-and-drop UI generation capability directly to the ActiveVOS BPMS.

If you are interested in BPM, workflow, integrating human task and delivery of advanced processes to end users via portals and/or Web 2.0 and RIA technologies, you will find this podcast very informative.
