Advances in E-business collaboration: Semantic web services in SAP R/3 B2B integration

Abstract:

With growing number of electronic services in business, automated support for discovery of services, their composition and invocation is required. In this paper we show, how semantic web services concepts and execution environment integrated with SAP R/3 could be used to promote e-business collaboration among business partners. We first introduce concepts for semantic web services and semantic web services execution environment known as WSMX. We describe SAP R/3 integration solutions and accordingly show how WSMX could be integrated with SAP R/3 with respect to these solutions and latest integration technologies. Finally, we describe dynamic supply chain scenario and illustrate interactions of a service requester with service providers using WSMX platform. © 2005 IEEE.
