The Web Services Composite Application Framework is a collection of three specifications - designed to solve problems that arise when multiple Web services are used in combination ("composite applications") to support information sharing and transaction processing.

  1. Web Service Context (WS-CTX)
  2. Web Service Coordination Framework (WS-CF)
  3. Web Service Transaction Management (WS-TXM)

As co-author of the specification, Eric will discuss in this session how WS-CAF addresses the underlying issues of Web service context propagation and transaction management to expand the scope, usability, and reliability of Web services for business process automation.
