title = "Automated outsourcing partnership management using semantic Web services",
abstract = "In an era of fierce global competition and rapid technological changes, companies thrive by focusing mainly on what they can do best and by relying on partnerships to supplement their internal abilities. It is imperative, therefore, for companies to find an efficient method through which partnerships may be managed on demand. This paper presents a framework called Web Service-based Coordinated Process Collaboration (WSCPC) that facilitates collaborative design and manufacturing processes using Web services. In WSCPC, a process is structured as a network of activities, and each activity is represented as services that can be advertised and identified through Web semantics based on OWL-S. WSCPC also presents service models which are able to represent manufacturing behavior, facilitate the complex communication required for collaborative process management, and help companies devise an optimal solution.",
