Abstract
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, to realize a business scenario are described. A plurality of process components and context independent interactions among the process components are defined. Each of the process components characterizes software implementing a respective and distinct process. In addition, each of the process components defines at least one respective service interface for interacting with business objects associated with other process components, and all communication and interaction between process components taking place through the respective interfaces of the process components.
