Message from the WEBH Workshop Chairs

he next generation business is highly globalized and digitized. Enterprises are evolving from traditional business model to an epoch of electronic business and commerce. With the recent shift from Businessto-Customer (B2C) to Business-to-Business (B2B) electronic marketplaces, a new infrastructure to manage more complex business processes and transactions is needed. As XML becomes the defacto standard for data representation and Information exchange over the Internet, it offers tremendous benefits for the seamless integration of B2B.
