dc.description.abstractThe practice of optimising business processes has, until recently, been undertaken mainly as a manual task. This article provides insights into an automated business process optimisation framework by using web services for the development of re-configurable business processes. The research presented here extends the optimisation framework by introducing additional web services as a mechanism for facilitating process interactions, identifying enhancements to support business processes and undertaking three case studies to evaluate the proposed enhancements. The featured case studies demonstrate that an increase in the amount of available web services gives rise to improvements in the business processes generated. This research highlights an increase in the efficiency of the algorithm and the quality of the business process designs that result from the enhancements. Future research directions are proposed for the further improvement of the framework.en_UK
