%X WS-BPEL is imposing itself as a standard for orchestration  of web services. However, there are still some well-known  difficulties that make programming in WS-BPEL a tricky  task. In this paper, we present BliteC, a software tool we  have developed for supporting a rapid and easy development  of WS-BPEL applications. BliteC translates service orches-  trations written in Blite, a formal language inspired to but  simpler than WS-BPEL, into readily executable WS-BPEL  programs. We illustrate our approach by means of a few  practical programming examples.
