Research Interest

My research interest is in the modeling of choreographies using WS-BPEL 2.0. I'm mainly interested in the autonomy of the participants, distributed transactions, and global fault handling.

During my research, I'm closely working together with the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin and the MEGA International GmbH. We were joining our forces in the project Tools4BPEL from November 2005 to November 2008.
