The proposed tutorial is to explain and demonstrate how the combination of technologies from the area of Business Process Management (BPM) and Semantic Web Services (SWS) can contribute to the vision of Internet of Services and multi-partners processes.
The tutorial will present the state of the art in the areas of BPM and SWS motivating the need for explicit use of semantics to overcome the Future Internet challenges. Next, a consolidated technical framework that integrates SWS and BPM technology will be demonstrated. The tutorial will be held by the BPM and SWS experts that actively work on integration of both technologies in the EU-funded SUPER project.
After having presented pure SWS tutorials as well as tutorials on the integration of SWS into BPM at previous conferences, we now propose the tutorial showing semantic management of processes between enterprises contributing to the vision of Internet of Services.

We therewith follow the trend in the research community to focus on the applicability and integration of semantic technologies in the real-world, next to foundational research on ontologies and Semantic Web Services.
