The Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL4WS or
BPEL for short) is an XML-based language for defining business
processes that provides an interoperable, portable language for both
abstract and executable processes and that was designed from the
beginning to operate in the heterogeneity and dynamism that is
commonplace in information technology today. BPEL builds on the
layers of flexibility provided by the Web Services stack, and
especially by XML. In this paper, we provide a brief introduction to
BPEL with emphasis on architectural drivers and basic concepts. Then
we survey ongoing BPEL work in several application areas: adding
quality of service to BPEL, extending BPEL to activities involving
humans, BPEL for grid computing, and BPEL for autonomic computing.
