Interoperability of security-aware web service business processes: Case studies and empirical evaluation

In this paper, we provide significant contributions on top of a recent successful framework for supporting the interoperability of so-called security-aware Web Service Business Processes, i.e. Web Service Business Processes that incorporate Access Control Policies (ACP), via assessing and verifying its reliability on the basis of some well-suited case studies. Our evidence fully demonstrates the effectiveness as well as the robustness of the investigated framework. We complete our analytical contributions by means of a critical discussion on the advantages and possible extensions of this framework.
