A method ( 50 ) of dynamic creation of service flows includes exposing ( 51 ) a flow of a service being built to other service providers in a network, soliciting ( 52 ) for modification of at least a portion of the flow, and selectively enabling ( 56 ) other service providers to modify at least a portion of the flow. The step of soliciting can optionally include advertising ( 53 ) BPEL files to indicate flows or portions of flow that are modifiable by other services providers and tagging ( 54 ) such BPEL files to indicate such modifiable or reusable portions of the flow. The BPEL files can also be published ( 55 ) in a UDDI-like directory. New flows can be created by incorporating ( 57 ) the modifications into at least a portion of the flow. Optionally, solicitations for modifications can be removed ( 59 ) once the new flow is created.
