Market constant evolution towards more and more customisation and call for "product/service" increases to need of agile and lean organisations, making an heavy use of infomiation and communication technologies. To bring the necessary openness, interoperability and agility features to the enterprises information systems, one can use fruitfully Service Oriented Architecture. Already used at a business level as a potential interoperable and integrating framework, this technology must be adapted to define manufacturing services and to take into account manufacturing constraints, namely time constraint and security integration. In this paper, we propose a global framework to define a "manufacturing service bus", paying a particular attention to the manufacturing service definition. We also show how mobile agents can be used to set dynamically monitoring systems.

Abstract. In order to fulfill economical constraints, enterprises are more and more involved in collaborative organizations. To develop such co-industry frameworks, a particular attention has to be paid on enterprises organisation and on the common information system. To provide the required agility level involved by such lean collaborative organizations, one may use a Service Oriented Architecture to support the information system infrastructure. Despite of its intrinsic flexibility and openness (given by a rather "free" service orchestration), such architecture may lack of inter-operability, mostly as far as industrial information systems are concerned. In this paper we propose an architecture to couple both management and production processes in a common service oriented approach so that different levels of interoperability can be supported.
