Abstract
One of the main problems when creating execution-level process models is finding implementations for process activities. Carrying out this activity manually can be time consuming, since it involves searching in large service repositories. We present Maestro for BPMN, a tool that allows to annotate and automatically compose activities within business processes. We explain the main assumptions and algorithms underlying the tool, and we overview what will be demonstrated at ESWC.

Thanks also to Alina Dima, Florian Dörr, and Mario Karrenbrock for their coding support and Christian Drumm and Christian Brelage for their advice.
