Abstract

In order to support global competitiveness and rapid market responsiveness, virtual enterprises need to efficiently integrate different organization's workflows to provide customized services. Currently, most of the integrations are case-based which have high setup cost and involve time consuming low level programming. Cross-enterprise workflow that is able to streamline and coordinate business processes across organizations in dynamic Web environment provides a low cost and flexible solution. We develop an agent-based cross-enterprise workflow Management System (WFMS) architecture which can dynamically integrate the workflows and compose a workflow execution community customized to different workflow specifications.
