Automated reconciliation for Web services business protocols
Wenyi Zhang · Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems · 2007
Inter-organizational business processes usually require complex and time-consuming interactions among partners than simple interactions supported by Web Service Description Language(WSDL).Automated reconciliation is essential to enable dynamic inter-organizational business processes.At present,however,there is no a practical automated reconciliation algorithm available.To deal with this problem,a practical automated reconciliation algorithm,called Interaction Process Reconciliation(IPR) based on Petri-nets was proposed.IPR was able to effectively facilitate dynamic interactions among trading partners in a peer to peer mode.Design and algorithm of IPR were explained.Prototype implementation of IPR was also introduced.Finally,IPR process was analyzed through measurement parameters such as matching success rate,response time and matching efficiency.
