Abstract

Businesses today form dynamic business alliances to meet short-term business goals. However, in traditional business-to-business integration (B2Bi), the connections are typically long term and static. This paper discusses the potential of service-oriented architecture (SOA) and Web services in overcoming the issues and challenges of dynamic business partnerships. Some outstanding issues and challenges include the formulation of business processes for B2Bi at different levels of granularity and the dynamic composition, matching, selection and invocation of relevant services.
