Automotive manufacturers in Europe are facing major changes to several processes. These processes include their new product introduction, manufacturing, and service after sales processes. The changes come in the wake of the European Union (EU) Directive 2000/53/EC on end of life vehicles (ELV) and Directive 2002/95/EC on the restriction of the use of hazardous substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment. Failure to reach regulation targets will cost each original equipment manufacturer (OEM) approximately 1 billion euros annually. As the automotive industry continues to expand, the need for cost-efficient responses to regulation that strives for process efficiency grows increasingly important. The automotive industry demands robust, flexible solutions that provide insight into business processes in order to remain competitive and profitable. This paper illustrates how automotive manufacturers can use Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and business process management (BPM), including business activity monitoring (BAM) methodologies and technologies, to develop and deploy optimized solutions. Such solutions will help address the carbon impact of the post-sales management of hazardous vehicle materials and recycling of the vehicle materials upon end of life. This paper unites existing methods and technologies including process operational status, event correlation, aggregation, and predictive analysis. It explores future technologies that create a vision for addressing ELV environment challenges. It

This Redpaper will help systems programmers and WebSphere administrators exploit WebSphere Business Integration Server Foundation (WBISF) functions. It covers the functional implementation on z/OS and includes information about how to install and configure WBISF for z/OS, V5.1 for high performance applications. It contains guidelines and best practices to set up the Process Choreographer environment. It points out specific issues with SMP/E, ports and naming conventions, CEI and DB2, WebSphere MQ, security, BPE, and tuning, and provides recommendations how to tackle them. This paper also introduces business process concepts and a number of ways to construct them in a comprehensive and efficient manner. The discussion includes the business process itself, compensation, audit logging using the Common Event Infrastructure, versioning, the underlying process language, and Web Service invocation.

This Redpaper describes the application programming interfaces (APIs) used to interact with the WebSphere Business Integration Server Foundation V5.1 Business Process Container. It also investigates how to use the Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) API to log, retrieve, and manage events from the Business Process Container. We wrote this Redpaper as a practical guide for developers who need to write code that uses these APIs. We provide practical code examples and implementation samples so that developers can understand how to code using the available APIs.

With process choreographer, IBM WebSphere® Application Server Version 5.1 can choreograph intra-enterprise and inter-enterprise services using business processes based on the Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL). This paper highlights the characteristics of the process choreographer BPEL engine implementation and describes how the engine works. It demonstrates in various examples what a process modeler has to take into account to model efficient business processes. Although process m

This IBM Redpaper describes the characteristics of business process management (BPM) and then introduces some design concepts for using a business service choreography (BSC) engine in conjunction with an Enterprise Service Bus to implement BPM. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the following topics: - Service-oriented architecture and the Enterprise Service Bus - Web Services - Process Integration patterns from the Patterns for e-business - Service-oriented architecture patterns Relevant information about these topics can be found in Chapters 3 and 4 of Patterns: Implementing an SOA using an Enterprise Service Bus, SG24-6346. In this Redpaper, we extend the SOA patterns. We define the way in which Process Integration patterns in business service choreography design can be used in conjunction with an Enterprise Service Bus to form composite SOA patterns.

The Web services support provided in WebSphere® Business Integration (BI) Server Foundation Version 5.1 was initially introduced in WebSphere Application Server V5.0.2, WebSphere Application Server V5.0 as a technical preview and in WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition V5.1. Web services support has been enhanced to take advantage of the JSR 101 and 109 standards, delivered as part of WebSphere Application Server V5.1 and WebSphere Studio Application Developer V5.1.

The Web services technology has emerged as the most promising development to address cross-enterprise, cross-platform, and cross-vendor business integration issues. Web services is a family of emerging technologies that enable easy interoperability of programmed information technology (IT) services and integration of applications into a company's broader business processes. The Web services technology enables companies to describe available services and provide access to those services over standard Web protocols and communications boundaries. There has been a vast amount of information published about Web services. This IBM Redpaper will help you find your way through some of the more recent information published by IBM. It also covers some external material, such as technology standard Web sites.

WebSphere Business Integration Server Foundation V5.1 extends the capabilities of WebSphere® Application Server V5.1 by adding the following: -Process Choreographer technology -Programming Model Enhancements (PMEs) -Common Event Infrastructure technology preview This paper addresses these features of WebSphere Business Integration Server Foundation .
