Execution of semantically enriched business processes

In this paper, we present an approach to execute business processes composed of semantically enriched services. This method is essential when applying collaborative business processes to integrate standard enterprise applications eg. ERP, CRM, SCM systems. A lot of literature and current research deals with design time issues of building collaborative business processes from semantically enriched services. However they mostly lack the specific methodology and technology for applying processes and their services also in run-time. The focus of the paper is the preparation of the semantic services to enable them to participate in run-time scenarios. The methodology and the main technical issues of our mediator based approach are introduced in the paper.
