Service oriented architectures and their semantic enhancements make distributed environments more user and computer friendly. In SOA-oriented distributed scientific environments, the services implementing complicated mathematical algorithms can be the building blocks for complex applications. We expect that the reuse of remote services instead implementation dependent libraries can be the next step in the evolution of mathematical software. One of the most complex building blocks are expert systems that assist the user in solving specific problems. Their re-implementation is usually not possible. In this context, the paper presents our experience in using semantic Web services as well as workflow standards and technologies in redesigning an existing monolithic expert system. We propose to integrate in a distributed application design semantic services with process modelling. The prototype that proves the concept is a framework for service-oriented computing of ordinary differential equations systems solutions.
