Abstract

The ability to deal with incompatibilities of service requesters andproviders is a critical factor for achieving interoperability in dynamic open environments.We propose a Process Mediation Agent (PMA) as a solution to the processmediation problem in situations when the requester does not want to revealits process model completely for privacy reasons. The PMA automatically resolvesencountered incompatibilities by generating mappings between processesof the requester and the provider and applies them for the runtime translations.In the PMA algorithms we combine the AI planing and semantic reasoning withrecovery techniques and the discovery of appropriate external data mediators.
