Enactment of inter-organizational workflows using aspect-element-oriented Web services

To support collaboration over the Web, workflows have to be enacted not only within an organization, but also between organizations. These inter-organizational workflows create new requirements to enactment architectures, as a dynamic set of workflow participants has to be supported. Therefore, a new enactment architecture based on Web services is developed. It uses a homogeneous and dynamic composition of so called aspect-element-oriented Web services to support inter-organizational workflows.
