1 Semantic and Autonomic Workflow Engine SAWE (Semantic and Autonomic Workflow Engine) is a workflow enactment system compliant with the [WfMC] abstract reference model. The main objective of SAWE is to deliver advanced services for creating, managing and enacting workflow processes (described in [XPDL], [BPEL] and in future also [GWorkflowDL]), in business, engineering and scientific domains. These services enable: 1. automatic composition of abstract and concrete workflows from services described in [OWL-S]; 1. dynamic binding of resources for task execution through semantic matchmaking of resource descriptions both for functional and non-functional aspects; 1. programmable monitoring for handling exceptional events during workflow execution; 1. workflow autonomic adaptation to react to exceptional or programmed events. http://plone.rcost.unisannio.it/locosp 2008-02-04 16:27:34.382 2008-01-21 14:38:23.526
