The global scale and distribution of companies
have changed the economy and dynamics of businesses.
Web-based collaborations and cross-organizational processes
typically require dynamic and context-based interactions
between people and services. However, finding the right
partner to work on joint tasks or to solve emerging problems
in such scenarios is challenging due to scale (number of
involved people and services) and the temporary nature of
collaborations. Furthermore, actor skills and competencies
evolve over time requiring dynamic approaches for the
management of actor properties. Web services and SOA
are the ideal technical framework to automate interactions
spanning people and services. In this paper, we present
a novel discovery mechanism based on social trust to
support formation and dynamic interactions in serviceoriented
collaboration networks.We argue that trust between
members is essential for successful collaborations. Here we
discuss profile similarity-based link establishment to connect
disparate network segments
