  4. Objectives (1) • Main objective: • Development of a software service platform for the easy, secure, and fast start-up of short-term and project-based virtual business alliances. • Organisational objectives: • Enable outsourcing of parts of the value chain to business partners; • Simplify collaboration between the members of participating organizations through dynamically created and pre-defined business processes and workflows; • Achieve interoperability between organizations of all sizes; • Offer generic solutions for inter-enterprise interoperability and collaboration through reference scenarios and guidelines for their use; • Have a special focus on security and trust.

  5. Objectives (2) • Technology objectives - design of the components: • Semantic service bus for registering, discovering and contracting services, as well as for service message routing and processing; • Semantic BPM engine, handling customized processes, workflows and distributed processes built from generic process fragments; • Information flow control between members of the alliance: service message and user context filtering according to specified policies; • Security infrastructure: attribute management, authentication, workflow and service access control, and auditing functionality; • Repositories for processes and ontologies; • Portal server extension for semantic context capturing and communication; • Portal-based interfaces and tools for user-friendly administration of alliances, ad-hoc workflow modeling and process handling..

  9. Pilot applications • 1. Information hotel • Controlling and automation of the supplier vs. client documentation management processes and related sub-processes. • Use cases: uploading, sending, receiving docs from supplier, verifying uploaded docs, verifying received docs near deadline, sending reminder messages to suppliers, ... • 2. Legacy applications • Location of services of partners, integration into workflows. • Use cases: maintenance of service providers, service information and configuration, tracking services, contracting and ordering services,... • 3. Identity federation • Enable access to the inner infrastructure of partners within an alliance to support effective collaboration. • Use cases: collaboration setup and maintenance, role and resource management WDA 2009, Čertovica, June 2-3, 2009 K. Furdík: Secure Process-oriented Infrastructure for Networked Enterprises 9

  10. Architecture design • Methodology: • spec. of viewpoints, perspectives, stakeholders • Scope - functional viewpoint, levels of collaboration: • Collaborative processes: modeled by patterns - business processes, incl. steps/activities, resources/artefacts, workflow structures, semantic description of processes. • Sharing services: environment for offering and contracting services, based on project-oriented workflow. • Identity federation: SPIKE as mediator to enable access to internal resources of/between alliance partners.

  11. System context - actors Human actors and software agents, as they were identified during the architecture design: concurrency and operational viewpoints, as well as in the usability perspective WDA 2009, Čertovica, June 2-3, 2009 K.
