Abstract
The EU Services Directive aims at easing the burdens for the EU’s citizens to open up new businesses by providing a single-point-of-contact for the complete business lifecycle. It has to be implemented by all EU member states by the end of 2009. The key technical challenge is the strong dependency between the individual situation of each citizen and the underlying business process: the resulting large variability of possible processes makes it difficult to pre-configure a system for dealing with all required variants. To overcome this bottleneck we present a method and a prototype for automatic service composition, visualization, monitoring, and execution based on Semantic Web Services.
