These systems therefore This paper presents a Service-Oriented Process have inherent weaknesses in terms of scalability and Model (SOM) to build a web-services based process extensibility in loosely coupled application integration. management system, called MIDAS that would support Moreover, they do not address run-time process distributed Design and Manufacturing process. SOM reconfiguration sufficiently, which is necessary to uses OWL specification, and describes the semantics of reflect dynamic manufacturing environments. Most the design process with an underlying mathematical systems react to dynamic changes based only on pre- mode, Process Grammar, which supports dynamic defined routines composed at the process definition process creation and enactment. The rich semantics stage. provided by SOM offers a unique functionality of web
