Views for Inter-organization Workflow in an E-commerce Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
In an e-commerce or e-service environment, workflow involves not only a single organization but also a number of business partners. Workflow interoperability is therefore an important issue for workflow enactment in such an environment. In this paper, we propose the use of workflow views as a fundamental support for workflow inter-operability and for visibility by external parties. We present taxonomy of workflow views, discuss various components of a workflow view, and their semantics with example usage. We also demonstrate how contracts can be facilitated with a supply-chain example.

متن کاملFloors Concept For Studying e-commerce Development: Pertinence With Reference To Tunisian Context
E-commerce development is described in literature with reference to divergent points of views having many insufficiencies. In order to palliate these limits, this paper proposes a new construct, namely floors, corresponding to growing development levels. This construct permits e-commerce development influencing factors analysis. This paper proposes a model specifying factors influencing e-comme...
متن کاملActive Views for Electronic Commerce
Electronic commerce is emerging as a major Web-supported application. In this paper we argue that database technology can, and should, provide the backbone for a wide range of such applications. More precisely, we present here the ActiveViews system, which, relaying on an extensive use of database features including views, active rules (triggers), and enhanced mechanisms for notification, acces...
متن کاملm3pl: A Work-FLOWS ontology extension to extract choreography interfaces
Cross-organisational interoperability is a key issue for success in B2B e-commerce applications. To achieve this interoperability, choreography descriptions are necessary that describe how the business partners can cooperate. In existing approaches, these choreography descriptions are independent of the internal workflows of the partners. We present a framework for extracting choreography inter...
