A Web Service Support to Collaborative Process with Semantic Information
Conference paper
Abstract
Web services are introduced to deliver methods and technologies to help organizations link their software. However, existing web service standards based on WSDL limits web services’ usefulness in collaborative process management. In this paper, we present a framework, WSCPC, that enables web service based collaborative process management in heterogeneous software environment. To facilitate web service based collaboration, we propose semantic service models and a web service extension that overcome limitations in current frameworks, and, hence, support complex level of communications needed for intensive collaboration in heterogeneous Virtual Enterprises environment. Through our semantic service models, organizational functionalities and capabilities are encapsulated and published as services. Collaborating partners can schedule, control, and monitor the relevant functionalities through WSCPC web services interactions model and web service extensions.
