Towards a semantic composition of ebXML business processes

In the Service Oriented Architecture paradigm, services are self-contained software units of functionality. Several services can be composed to assemble a composite one that provides an overall functionality. This process is called Service Composition. The automation of the service composition process aims at decreasing the human intervention during the service discovery, matching, filtering and reasoning about the resulting composition candidates. The paper presents our research work which consists of the proposition of a new model and the use of semantic matching technology for semantic and dynamic composition of ebXML business processes. For that purpose, we need to enrich ebXML registries by an OWL-S ontology.
