Interactions spanning multiple organizations have become
an important aspect in today´s collaboration landscape. Organizations
create alliances to fulfill strategic objectives. The
dynamic nature of collaborations increasingly demands for
automated techniques and algorithms to support the creation
of such alliances. Our approach bases on the recommendation
of potential alliances by discovery of currently
relevant competence sources and the support of semi-automatic
formation. The environment is service-oriented comprising
humans and software services with distinct capabilities.
To mediate between previously separated groups and
organizations, we introduce the broker concept that bridges
disconnected networks. We present a dynamic broker discovery
approach based on interaction mining techniques and
trust metrics. We evaluate our approach by using simulations
in real Web services´ testbeds.
