Matchmaking for business processes based on conjunctive finite state automata

2005 , Wombacher, A. , Fankhauser, P. , Mahleko, B. , Neuhold, E.

Web services have a potential to enhance B2B e-commerce over the internet by allowing companies and organisations to publish their business processes on service directories where potential trading partners can find them. This can give rise to new business paradigms based on ad-hoc trading relations as companies, particularly small to medium scale, can cheaply and flexibly enter into fruitful contracts, e.g., through subcontracting from big companies. More business process support by the web service infrastructure is however needed before such a paradigm change can materialise. The current infrastructure does not provide sufficient support for searching and matching business processes. We believe that such a service is needed and will enable companies and organisations to establish ad-hoc business relations without relying on manually negotiated frame contracts like RosettaNet PIPs. This paper gives a formal semantics to business process matchmaking and an operational de scription for matchmaking. Copyright

Towards a platform for supporting the buyer in trading in heterogeneous marketplaces

2002 , Mahleko, B. , Klingemann, J. , Fankhauser, P. , Wombacher, A.

While the number of electronic marketplaces has increased on the Internet, tools to help buyers in participating in these marketplaces (heterogeneous marketplaces) are lacking. As part of the European Union funded eBroker project on electronic marketplaces, we attempt to address this problem by developing tools that help buyers in trading in these electronic marketplaces. This paper addresses the following issues: problems buyers face when trading in heterogeneous marketplaces, sources of problems, and how to solve them.
