Abstract

This paper presents WebFlowAH, an environment for ad-hoc specifying and executing Web services-based business processes. WebFlowAH employs common domain ontology to describe both Web services and business processes. It allows specifying processes in terms of users' goals or desires that are expressed based on the concepts of such common domain ontology. This approach allows processes to be specified in an abstract high-level way, unburdening the user from dealing with underlying details needed to effectively run the process workflow.
