  abstract = 	 {In the future, Web services and software agents will
                  coexist in the Business Process Management solution
                  space. In our vision, agents will have symbiotic
                  relationships with Web services, harnessing them as
                  externally defined agent behaviors. In this paper we
                  detail the development of a demonstration system
                  that transparently integrates agent services into
                  BPEL4WS defined workflows. The development of the
                  demonstration system illustrates the power of
                  compositional approaches to system creation. It also
                  serves to reinforce the importance of open
                  standards, since the integration of the separate
                  components is dependent upon the interoperability
                  that standards provide. This work is an important
                  first step toward fully integrated agent-based
                  workflow management systems. },
