This chapter concentrates on the modeling and analysis of enterprises that collaborate in a service-oriented world. According to the idea of model-driven development, modeling of service-oriented enterprises collaborating in a networked confi guration must address three different layers. The fi rst layer is concerned with business models that describe the exchange of economic values among the business partners. An appropriate methodology on this level of abstraction is e3-value [1,2]. The second layer addresses the inter-organizational business processes among business partners. The third layer addresses the businesses processes executed at each partner’s side, that is, what each partner implements locally to contribute to the business collaboration.
