Towards business processes with dynamic search of services in collaborative working environment

The use of collaborative systems may bring benefits to the business sector, allowing co-workers to share information via virtual environments and thus, carrying out their collaborative tasks. Usually, these collaborative tasks should follow a specific flow of information with the aim of fulfilling a business process. Moreover, scenarios of this kind usually imply the use of different systems according to the user needs and the availability of them, and what is more it implies communication and exchanging information between the different systems. In this line, we propose the design of business processes based on web services technologies that perform dynamic search of services according to the structure established and taking into account the best service to fulfil the process. For that reason, in this paper we analyze several semantic standards as well as we propose a semantic extension in BPEL.
