Abstract

This paper describes the architecture, implementation and illustrates the usage of WebFlowAH, an environment for ad-hoc specifying and executing Web services-based business processes. WebFlowAH build on the adoption of common domain ontology to describe Web services and business processes. It enables the specification of processes in terms of high level users' goals that are expressed based on the concepts of such common domain ontology, thus independently on the syntax of the service provided operations. WebFlowAH provides a unique environment for specifying and executing goal-oriented business processes, allowing services discovery, composition and invocation on the fly.
