Abstract

The Web coupled with contemporary E-commerce and E-services is enabling a new networked economy. The scope of activities that processes span has moved from intra-enterprise workflows coordinating multiple applications, predefined inter-enterprise and B2B processes, to dynamically defined Web processes among cooperating organizations. Semantics is the new component to this mix which could enable support both the scalability and increasingly more dynamic nature of these Web processes. To these Semantics-enabled and empowered Web processes we call Semantic Web Processes. This tutorial presents some of the promises and challenges in applying semantics to each of the steps in the Semantic Web Process lifecycle. In particular we present the role of semantics in annotation (Semantic Annotation of Web Services), discovery (Semantic Web Service Discovery), composition (Semantic Process Composition), process execution/enactment (Semantic Web Process Orchestration), and quality of service of Semantic Web Processes.
