Lei Duan, Shijun Liu, Changhe Tu, Xiangxu Meng · 2006
In manufacturing grid, a lot of applications and resources in manufacturing enterprises are encapsulated as Web services and a cooperative work environment is provided. Applying Web service composition and workflow technologies, services are integrated into a composite service to represent a cooperative business process. Therefore the enterprise cooperation can be implemented by executing and monitoring the composite service. According to the characteristics of manufacturing, this paper presents a composite service modeling solution based on BPEL4WS and discusses how this solution support BPEL4WS during the whole modeling process. The solution includes dynamic service discovery and service selection to support a flexible binding with the partners' services. This paper also describes how to execute and monitor the composite service
