Web Services Enabled Architecture for Interorganizational Business Process Management
نویسنده
چکیده
This research is based on an extensive review of a pioneering interorganizational web services (WS) installation that has been in operation for almost two years. The case study is used to evaluate the current WS technology and identify the critical research issues. In particular, the review concludes that the WS technology is capable of meeting the business need of reusability and flexibility. However, new enterprise architecture is required in order to fulfill the promise of web services technology. The paper introduces dynamic notification based enterprise architecture for managing interorganizational business processes. We further explain why the architecture is necessary in order to support complex business processes.
