Service-Oriented Enterprise Cooperation: Modeling Method and System

Enterprise cooperation is a critical issue to improve the company’s competition capability nowadays. The business cooperation modeling has been received a lot of attention due to its importance. The effort can be classified into two types: cooperation process description and implementation-oriented modeling. The business description is usually easier for users to understand but is hard to realize. The paper discusses business cooperation scenarios from perspectives of partners, types, control and data and analyzes its modeling requirements. Then a multi-view cooperation model is proposed to describe cooperation process. It has graphic process view which can be easily understand. A model mapping technique is put forward to transfer the cooperation description model to BPEL model that can be executed by service-oriented workflow engine. The prototype of service-oriented business cooperation system is developed.
