The Speaker was our own bobby woolfe.

I also know the Avalon community (jakarta.apache.org/avalon) has been 
talking about this.  I odn't know if they have a solution yet, but I 
woud suggest asking on the avalon-dev list.  I'm ccing it.  Perhaps 
you'll get a response.

Andrew:

I've been working in this area for a while now.  You may want to take a 
look at (or forward) the following publication - its basically a 
specification of a business model for process centric component 
management - focussing mainly on the issue of coordination/orchistrating 
cross enterprise synchrnonization of process interaction. The 
specifications were adopted by the OMG as an available specification 
(Community and Collaboration Services) last year and published by the 
OMG earlier this year - so everything is usable.

  http://www.osm.net/people/mcconnell/resources/dpa-11b.pdf

While the document focusses on the interfaces exposed at the execution 
and meta layers, a lot of the actuall service management content in 
being pushed progressively into the Merlin 2 product (refer 
jakarta-avalon-excalibur/assembly).

Cheers, Steve.

If so, Bob McWhirter is the person to talk to.
