Today's ebBP call surrounded how we ensure (as much as practical) state alignment. Kenji Nagahashi proposed we provide additional constraints on web services (top-down approach - business process to web services). We would like to more fully discuss the business contract requirements related to: State alignment and business signals. Here are some of the questions that arose (from John Yunker particularly):

* How do signals give you state alignment? How do we get certainty from a business perspective? * How does the contract layer use the state alignment will help us relate the special business timeouts to the technical signal receipt.BPSS provides a semantic to the contract layer. The business level timeouts in addition to the protocol level have to be recognized. * How does the contract layer use the state alignment. This will help us relate the special business timeouts to the technical signal receipt. [1]

The bullets above can form the agenda (subject to team input). Any member is welcomed to attend. Those expressing an interest today were: Yunker, Dubray, Nagahashi and Moberg (and myself).

You have indicated you would be available Friday and Monday (6/21). Let's try, as discussed:

* 877 330 9868, international 909 472 3386, when prompted hit **, then passcode 09868. * Time: 9 a.m. PDT, 6 p.m. CET, 18 June 2004. * Agenda above.

Thanks. [1] Steve Capell, RedWahoo question.
