The students have to design a simple workflow application, which is implemented using present distributed middleware technologies, such as Message Queuing, Java Message Service, MQ Workflow and Web service standards (BPEL). During their work, they use the most widespread platforms, e.g., IBM WebSphere software, JBoss Application Server, Apache Axis and Oracle BPEL Process Manager. IBM WebSphere software is donated to us in the IBM Academic Initative Program.
