| Abstract: | Business to business is one of the most successful forms of electronic commerce. Until recently, however, given the significant effort and investment required to deploy the necessary
technology, this form of electronic commerce was a prerogative of large enterprises with well established commercial links. Nowadays, the advent of the Internet and the proliferation of
inexpensive computing power in the form of clusters of workstations or PCs has changed this situation entirely. Small and medium enterprises can now afford to engage in business to business
electronic commerce by using the Internet to link their information processing systems. With the hardware infrastructure in place, there is a great demand for software support. In this paper we
briefly describe the WISE project (Workflow based Interned SErvices), which can be seen as an attempt to address the demand for appropriate tools for electronic commerce. The goals of WISE are to
develop and deploy the software infrastructure necessary to support business to business electronic commerce in the form of virtual enterprises. The idea is to combine the tools and services of
different companies as building blocks of a higher level system in which a process acts as the blueprint for control and data flow within the virtual enterprise. From this idea, the final goal is
to build the basic support for an Internet trading community where enterprises can join their services to provide added value processes. |
