The Internet Enterprise: Composable e-Services

Overview

Overview The goal of this project is to provide a web-based framework, where services (assumed to be) residing on the Internet can be searched for, located and invoked. Besides using these services, it should be possible to dynamically compose or federate a composite service based on existing (simple or composite) services. In other words, it should be possible to implement a workflow of diverse, autonomous services that communicate through the web. This infrastructure will enable businesses to identify the services they need and utilize them, in a just-in-time fashion. This notion of service-based infrastructure is very relevant and useful to domains like Internet-based, federated workflow (which is more than just web-based interfaces to workflow) and supply-chain, where various differing businesses need the services of one-another
