Change management for semantic web services

The rapid adoption of Web services is motivating a paradigm shift in enterprise structure from the traditional single entity to a collaboration of Web services. Such enterprises will open the door of entrepreneurship to all Web users by facilitating functionality outsourcing on the Web. Required functionality may be outsourced to third party Web-based providers through service composition. A composed Web service is an on-demand and dynamic collaboration between autonomous Web services that collectively provide a value added service. Each autonomous service specializes in a core competency, which reduces cost with increased quality and efficiency for the business entity and its consumers.
