However, the ability to integrate business processes like procurement, customer relationship management, finance, human resources and manufacturing in a typical supply chain on the web is a challenging task. Today’s virtual enterprises need to integrate different workflows within and across enterprises efficiently so as to provide seamless services. Cross-enterprise workflows can not only streamline and coordinate business processes across organizational boundaries in a dynamic Web environment but can provide low cost and flexible solution to supply chain management. In this paper, we have proposed an agent-based cross-enterprise workflow Management System (WFMS) architecture which can dynamically integrate the workflows and compose a workflow execution community customized to different workflow specifications. The model allows the process agents to update the execution plans dynamically and coordinate the functions of the participating service agents.</p> ER -
