The paper discusses the use of the recently introduced Dynamic Process Integration Framework (DPIF) in a relevant class of environmental management applications. The DPIF supports (i) a systematic encapsulation of heterogeneous processes via software agents and (ii) self configuration mechanisms that automate creation of meaningful workflows implementing complex collaborative reasoning processes. In addition, the DPIF is supported by novel tools and methods which facilitate construction of service oriented systems using rich domain knowledge while, at the same time, the collaboration between heterogeneous services requires minimal ontological commitments. |
