The ebXML framework in its entirety could be quite large and overvelming. Speech Act Theory (SAT) may provide some insights into what ebXML is trying to accomplish. SAT describes how humans communicate and interact,

The executable UML component has been refactored and the state machine is operational for simple and composite states, Concurrent and history etc are in progress. Why is the statemachines support important? Within
ebXML there are several parts that are based on statmachines and no ebXML MSH can basically be witout it. Examples are BPSS, BCP Business Object State and monitored commitments.
An interesting note is that a
university master thesis at the Open ebXML laboratory is being written on the subject of implementing hybrid state machines with support differential equations.
