An ontological context-aware approach for a dynamic business process formulation

Abstract

Ontologies are used in Business Process Management (BPM) to reduce the gap between the business world and information systems, especially in the context of the cross enterprise collaboration. For a dynamic collaboration, virtual enterprises need to establish collaborative process with appropriate matching levels of tasks. However, the problem of solving the semantics mismatching is still not tackled or even harder in the case of querying space between different enterprise profiles as ontologies. This paper proposes an approach based on the ontological and context-awareness during the integration and matching task for forming collaborative processes in the problem of the cross enterprise collaboration. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
