As @Tim has mentioned, the WCF Publishing Wizard is a good starting point.

Overview:

A couple of notes:

You'll need to build and deploy your BTS project to a dev environment before you publish. Make sure that when you publish you deploy to an app pool with the same user as the BizTalk Isolated host.

You don't actually need IIS / WAS to host the service - Biztalk can self host with e.g. WCF-Custom. So you can avoid the Isolated host in your production environment and turn off IIS entirely. This has performance and resource benefits. Note that you may need to open up permissions for BizTalk to listen see here or here

Publishing and 'refreshing' the WSDL in a dev environment so that peer systems can create proxies etc can be a pain. After using the publishing wizard, you can use this tool to refresh your WSDL publication without having to redo the wizard. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21973
