This work is in line with the CoopFlow approach dedicated for workflow advertisement, interconnection, and cooperation in virtual organizations. In order to advertise workflows into a registry, we present in this paper a novel method to abstract behaviors of workflows into symbolic observation graphs (SOG). We present in addition an efficient algorithm for SOG matching, which is used for interconnecting workflows
