Description:The notion of e-business process is strongly related to the several crucial issues, such as the SOA paradigm, and the concept of e-business service. Classical version of the SOA paradigm has its origins in software engineering. From the point of view of e-business process, the concept of service need not be related to RPC (as it is in SOA) where a service is passive and is waiting for a client to be invoked. In other words, a service may be active and looking by itself for clients’ tasks that can be accomplished. This corresponds to the reverse auctions in business practice. A business service has well founded structure where its operations (corresponding to request-quote, order-contract, invoice-payment) are related to each other. These relations cannot be expressed explicitly in WSDL. Hence, the concept of service in SOA should be revised. Generally, from the e-business perspective the following interrelated problems seem to be important:
Another e-business related topic concerns the application of the multi-agent technology to model and solve critical problems of the modern society: effective energy production and environment pollution reduction. In this case the starting point is the usage of classical mathematical modeling and optimization techniques which are to be enriched with a comprehensive account for, and handling of, the imprecision and uncertainty. PhD students carrying out research on the following and previous topics are expected to collaborate, both during their study in Poland and abroad, and a synergy effect is expected thanks to that.
- Service architecture.
- Communication protocols in e-business processes.
