摘要:
Techniques are provided for product life cycle management over an information network. More particularly, techniques are provided for decision support activation and management in accordance with a product life cycle management process such as a collaborative design process. In one aspect of the invention, a technique for managing at least one collaborative process performed in accordance with a first entity and at least a second entity, comprises the following steps/operations. Information associated with the at least one collaborative process is obtained. Based on at least a portion of the obtained information, an information structure (e.g., a context pyramid) representative of the collaborative process is dynamically maintained so as to assist at least one of the first entity and the second entity in managing at least a portion of the collaborative process.

Techniques are provided for discovering services available in accordance with an information network. For example, the invention provides methods and apparatus for dynamic service discovery from at least one chain of one or more service description documents employing one or more of automatic change detection of the chain, result aggregation and caching capability. The invention enables businesses to easily retrieve up-to-date web services linked and nested multi-level deep in the service description documents.
