Abstract

Enterprises are entering a new Internet era. The Web, initially designed for human use, will now evolve to better support automated use. In this new era, enterprises will have the capability to assemble large-scale systems out of network-bound software components within the reach of mass-market consumers. This study aims to depict the conversations between business processes and Web service technologies, explain what and how can Web services support message sharing between business partners. A Medical Summary Sharing process from IHE is implemented with Web services technologies in a Long-Term Care Management Center setting. In this scenario, one manager in Care Management Center uses a care plan creation application to evaluate care requirements for one patient. The conversations between the application and Web services are explained using Web Service Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL) in business process side and Web Services Description Language (WSDL) in technical side. We discovered that basic Web service technologies have matured enough to support enterprises in composition of Web services and further research should be made to identify novelty in using the technologies and to ensure operational quality while the services are consumed.
