Innovative information and communication technology (ICT) is a driver for the effectiveness and efficiency of enterprise collaboration and the management of inter-organizational business processes. In this context, cooperating enterprises need a shared understanding of their own processes, those of their partners as well as of emerging inter-organizational process structures. In order to create such a shared understanding, the concept of collaborative modeling can serve as a useful approach. This article introduces a concept for collaborative business process modeling and its implementation in the CoMoMod tool. The tool supports several aspects of collaborative process modeling, such as simultaneous work of spatially distributed modelers on one process model diagram. Furthermore the tool permits synchronously creating a collaborative model with different modeling languages by automatically mapping and converting the different model representations. The proof of concept utilizes Event-driven Process Chains (EPC) and Petri Nets. The usage of an integrated chat messaging service supports communication during the process of collaboratively modeling business process.","PeriodicalId":274311,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 20th International Workshops on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises","volume":"294 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116092719","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 approach is based on an isomorphic modelling of complex organizations, where agents operate cooperative repair behaviours. Agents implement solving strategies composed of atomic repair operations. The resulting multiagent system will operate the repair behaviours in order to determine the solution which minimizes the disturbance impact and to propose it to the human decision maker. This paper focuses on the description of cooperative repair operations and cooperation strategies that agents develop through their behaviours in order to find solutions to disturbances and propose them to human decision makers.","PeriodicalId":274311,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 20th International Workshops on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123899898","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}

We report experimental results on using a multi-agent system to simulate a business ecosystem in which we introduce the local effect of Commius, a low-cost interoperability tool for SMEs, into business collaborative interactions. The importance of the results derives from the egocentric attention commonly paid to the collaboration boost brought to the company using this sort of tools without considering the side effects it could bring to the network, where more than one company can also use it. When we apply our results to a cluster of companies, experiments indicate that an interoperability indeed adds dynamism to the network, yet it does not improve the network's capability of resilience.","PeriodicalId":274311,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 20th International Workshops on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131004202","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}

More recently, Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) 2.0 has become a standard for the business process modeling. BPMN 2.0 defines the formal semantics of its elements and provides means for its extensibility. Sensors and smart devices are the means enabling further automation in enterprise application. There is a strong need for describing the information about physical devices on the business process level. In this paper, we propose BPMN 2.0 extensions according to the ARIS architecture and Linked Data principles in order to achieve better integration between the physical world and business processes. We introduce business function descriptions augmented with information from physical devices in order to promote business process discovery, analysis and execution.","PeriodicalId":274311,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 20th International Workshops on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124388178","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 Parallax operating system is based on the DIME network computing model supporting distributed network-centric computing architecture. A parallel signaling network overlay over a network of von Neumann stored program control (SPC) computing nodes is utilized to implement dynamic fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security management of both the nodes and the network based on business priorities, workload variations and latency constraints.","PeriodicalId":274311,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 20th International Workshops on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114714541","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}

Different from traditional TDT (topic detection and tracking) technologies, the model is based on collaboration of dynamic case knowledge base and multi-domain cooperative computing method. Dynamically nature of topic causes great difficulties in sensitive topic detection with traditional method. Our solution is as follows. Firstly, we extract representative sensitive topics as cases and construct initial hierarchical semantic tree stored in dynamic case knowledge base. Secondly, we find out new sensitive topic or new event related to historical case and rank it according to case alert degree based on dynamic case knowledge base. Finally, dynamic case knowledge bases distributed in each domain cooperates with each other based on collaborative information scheduling. Experiments and practical application in several colleges and universities show that our model is effectiveness and efficiency.","PeriodicalId":274311,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 20th International Workshops on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114721055","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}
