Abstract

Web service technology has found its application in workflow manage-ment for supporting loosely coupled inter-organisational business processes. To effectively enable inter-organisational business collaboration, it is necessary to treat participating organisations as autonomous entities. For this purpose, we proposed an organisation centred framework called relative workflows. In this paper, we study how relative workflow processes can be realised in the Web service environment. WS-BPEL is extended for relative workflow modelling. In facilitating relative workflows, Web service based WfMS architecture and its main components are proposed and discussed in this paper.
