Semi-Automatic Business Process Performance Optimization Based On Redundant Control Flow Detection

Composite web services are often defined in terms of business processes. Therefore, their performance depends on the effectiveness of the said processes. This paper describes an approach allowing for business process performance optimization that eventually leads to improved composite web service performance. The approach is based on the discovery of the redundant control flow. It is argued that such is the flow which is not backed up by data flow. After detection, redundant control flow is replaced with nonredundant.
