Interactive task management system development based on semantic orchestration of web services

In recent years, end users are increasingly requiring to adapt and shape the software artifacts they use, thus becoming developers of their tools without being or willing to become computer experts. Capitalizing on the experience gained in the collaboration with an Italian research and certification institution, this paper proposes a Task Management System based on a Web service architecture, aimed at supporting the activities of workflow designers of this institution. The objective is to create a system that assists such domain experts in designing workflows through semantic orchestration of existing Web services, permitting them to use the knowledge and expertise they possess.
