Abstract
Service-oriented architectures (SOA) provide the basis to (re)design
business processes in order to develop flexible applications where available services
are dynamically composed to satisfy business goals. The adoption of this
type of architecture enables the design of information systems that connect IEs to
each other to run collaborative business processes. In fact, organizations can design
service-based processes based either on simple internal applications or on external
services. This chapter provides models and methods for the design and execution
of service-based processes able to exploit all the services offered in an IEs
registry. This service registry contains services that need to be defined with the
same granularity and described via the same functional and non-functional models.
The alignment in process and service design and modeling is discussed in this
chapter, to enable the adoption of efficient techniques for service sharing, discovery
and invocation.
