As well as simple planning of IOPE tie up, planners can potentially handle many aspects of temporal and resource constraints planning too. You are correct that issues of how you execute or monitor the execution of a workflow against the predicted model of how it will execute as arrive at by the planner is a key issue. A planner by itself can only make sure that suitable information is within the plan proposed to allow for rich monitoring of IOPE tie up as and other aspects. We are exploring all of these aspects in our work and we are using our old web accessible planner O-Plan and its execution support/replanning framework for experiments as an initial guide to the design of the new I-Plan that will be a web services composer in the I-X framework.
