AB  - We describe a middleware solution for automatic
run-time process versioning in Business Process Execution
Language (BPEL) and then analyse its impact in terms of
scalability and performance. Business processes change in
response to business needs, but the deployment of new versions
to a BPEL engine must ensure that running instances
are not disrupted and can conclude following their original
workflows. Our solution is implemented as a standalone component
that manages versioning transparently to the process
editor, the orchestration engine, the web services used by
the process, and the end-user. We have tested it for almost
1 year in the production environment of a telecommunications
company, without significant overhead in terms of
process invocation time.
