- Abstract
- E-business automates the overall activities of a company and allows distributed systems to communicate their information.
Process automation and information sharing improve a companys productivity and responsiveness, while Businessto-
Business (B2B) workflow systems electronically aid the progress of business processes among trading partners, and also
help companies to monitor and administrate their process execution. This study analyzes the technologies and standards
for B2B workflow integration, and extracts a reference model for B2B workflow integration. Based on the reference model,
three approaches to B2B workflow integration will be introduced here. In addition, we have developed a prototype system
of one approach and have illustrated an example for B2B workflow integration. The result of our research can help business
partners understand the workflow standards and the messaging technologies for B2B workflow integration, and also
help them understand how to implement workflow integration systems that are appropriate to their e-business
environments.
