Abstract

Dynamic, distributed and open business forces enterprises to support various critical requirements, such as, timely reacting to changes, properly reusing business assets and smoothly collaborating with external partners. Existing approaches focus on mechanisms dealing with heterogeneity, but there is a lack of frameworks enabling legacy business processes performing collaboration in an open service environment. This paper proposes the L2L service framework featuring reactive IoT event messaging and coordinator-based collaborating between autonomous enterprises. Along with the emerging of coordinators, L2L empowers on-the-fly business process collaboration with dynamic changes. We present our experiments with a real-world scenario from the shipping industry of China.

VII. CONCLUSIONSANDFUTUREWORK This paper proposed a framework L2L for cross-enterprise collaboration against environmentuncertainties. The coordinators leveraged collaboration scheme in an open environment, the incorporation of IoT and sharing of information resulted in flexibility for changes and opportunities, the annotation-based patches facilitated long-tailed functional and/or nonfunctional constraints by non-technicians. Some issues need further studied, e.g., the global validator design and conflict resolution with policies and contexts.
