随着Web从提供信息访问演变为电子商务平台，需要对企业间交互进行建模和自动化。目前，基于XML文档交换的企业对企业的交互已经得到了广泛的讨论。然而，在业务流程级别上，只有有限的技术可以定义和自动化这些交互。本文介绍了基于公共业务对象的公共业务协作（CBC）协议，以及跨业务协作过程（ICP）。比较方案表示流程一级的业务互动，同时允许每个参与方的内部流程完全自主。这些业务间协作流程的自动化是基于对等实现范例，而不是单个集中式流程引擎。提出了一种基于XML的CBC描述语言CBCDL，用于描述企业间的协作过程。这种方法的可行性和实用价值已经通过在HP实验室实现的原型得到了证明。
As the Web evolves from providing information access into a platform for e-business, there is a need for modeling and automating inter-business interactions. Today, business-to-business interaction based on XML document exchange has been widely discussed. However, there is only limited technology for defining and automating these interactions at the business process level. In this paper, we introduceCommon Business Collaboration (CBC)protocols based on common business objects, as well asInter-business Collaborative Processes (ICP). An ICP expresses process-level business interaction, while allowing complete autonomy of the internal processes at each participating party. The automation of these inter-business collaborative processes is based on a peer-to-peer implementation paradigm, rather than a single centralized process engine. An XML-basedCBC Description Language, CBCDL, is introduced to model inter-business collaborative processes. The feasibility and practical value of this approach have been demonstrated through prototypes implemented at HP Laboratories.
