For this automation to succeed, the joint execution of Web services requires to be coordinated. Coordination’s main use is to solve conflicts between Web services. Conflicts could be on sharable resources, order dependencies, or communication delays. The proposed coordination model tackles these conflicts with three inter-connected blocks defined as conflict, exception, and management. Conflicts among Web services raise exceptions that are handled using appropriate mechanisms as part of the coordination model.","PeriodicalId":261905,"journal":{"name":"Technologies for Collaborative Business Process Management","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116604986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various stakeholders that pursue different perspectives on processes are involved in the design of CBPs. Enterprise modeling supports a common understanding of business processes for different stakeholders across organizations and serves as basis to generate executable models. Models include knowledge of internal processes as well as demands for CBPs. The paper presents concepts and a first prototype of a modeling framework supporting process designers to get a common agreement on their processes across different companies on different levels of abstraction.","PeriodicalId":261905,"journal":{"name":"Technologies for Collaborative Business Process Management","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122881737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the need for maximal reuse of lessons learned and knowledge accumulated for keeping companies at the leading edge is evident, this knowledge is often lost because it can be difficult or impossible to articulate. k.PrOnto1 framework infuses the process of project management with knowledge management technology and provides project managers with concepts and tools to support them in decision making and project control. The tools operate at a stand-alone mode, but, in the context of k.PrOnto architecture, can also be used as components of a distributed system operating at a higher organizational level. Thus the k.PrOnto framework assists large organizations in identifying best practices, metrics and guidelines, starting from individual projects and in amplifying their efforts to achieve organizational maturity and build corporate culture and memory.","PeriodicalId":261905,"journal":{"name":"Technologies for Collaborative Business Process Management","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123636325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For advertisement, workflows should be described. Nevertheless, by using a description language like XPDL only syntactic problems can be solved. In this paper, we propose a three steps method for workflows semantic description. First, workflows described using XPDL, are annotated to distinguish cooperative activities and non cooperative ones. Second, to preserve privacy, a view, that we call cooperative interface, for each different partner is generated. Third, cooperative interfaces are described using OWL according to an ontology we have defined for cooperative workflows.","PeriodicalId":261905,"journal":{"name":"Technologies for Collaborative Business Process Management","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125874874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The increasing number of services available on the Web, together with the heterogeneity of Web audiences, are among the main reasons that motivate the adoption of this paradigm to Web services technology. In this paper we describe a solution that allows automatic customization of Web services: a supplier configuration, published in a services repository, is automatically translated into another configuration that is better suitable for fulfilling customers' needs.","PeriodicalId":261905,"journal":{"name":"Technologies for Collaborative Business Process Management","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124062030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
