  abstract = 	 {This paper describes our development of a
                  distributed, functionally equivalent agent-based
                  workflow enactment mechanism from a BPEL4WS
                  specification. This work demonstrates that BPEL4WS
                  can be viewed as a description of the social order
                  of a collection of agents, where the agents serve as
                  proactive proxies for the underlying passive Web
                  services. Although the Semantic Web initiative is
                  working toward semantically rich descriptions of Web
                  services, which can be reasoned about by agents, the
                  current state-of-the-art does not yet allow for
                  collections of agents representing semantic Web
                  services to organize themselves to enact
                  workflows. Therefore, this work is critically
                  important as it serves as a bridge from existing,
                  static views of workflow enactment to future,
                  agent-based, dynamic workflow engines.},
