An Execution Engine For Semantic Business Processes

The document discusses an execution engine for semantic business processes. It introduces BPEL4SWS, which combines BPEL with semantic web services. The execution engine uses Apache Ode as a code base and extends it to support BPEL4SWS. This allows for the invocation of WSMO web services and data mediation using semantic assignments. The engine also logs execution events as instances of an event ontology for monitoring purposes. However, more work is still needed to fully support conversational interaction scenarios and using semantic logs to improve business activity monitoring.
