Abstract
Emerging technology is one of the key factors that drive the business world to faster adaptation, reaction and shorter communication path. Building upon such technologies, business communities emerge, geared toward high flexibility in their offerings and collaboration: business-to-customer and business-to-business collaborations. Adapting to the market requirements, companies must address several technical challenges that arise from the main requirements of the system they have to introduce: a high degree of flexibility, heterogeneous system collaboration and security of the transferred data.
Industry experience shows that many companies and public institutions have to address these kinds of challenges when introducing systems in support of business communities. In this chapter we present a general solution to facilitate the introduction of a universal platform for the execution and monitoring of web services, as part of complex business processes.
