BPM as a Service using Lightweight Workflows
I'm working on lightweight workflows for the Web. This started with the language code-named Bite and released as the Project Zero assemble flow language. From there, I'm focusing into BPM as a service in which lightweight flows are provided in a hosted collaborative environment (yes, 'in the cloud' for all the buzzword happy folks out there).
Our current project has two - and a half - aspects: (1) part of the recently announced IBM BPM BlueWorks offering, (2) an incubator code-named Project Virtuoso that includes (among other fantabulous things) executable Bite flows and (2.5) additional research that doesn't cleanly fit into either bucket ;)
Many folks, distributed globally across both IBM Software Group and IBM Research, have contributed to this project. When I last checked, the list of contributors was as follows, but it does grow as people pitch in so it is likely I've left someone out (apologies, apologies):
