In the case of those systems, adaptations which are initiated by individuals also affect other users in most cases. Therefore, a process of negotiation is required. A design principle called negotiability should be introduced. It helps users affected by adaptations to comment on them or to reject, accept or modify them. Supposing that the configuration of workflow management systems leads to a fixing of organizational structures by technical means, adaptation based on negotiability can be used to make those structures more flexible.","PeriodicalId":338751,"journal":{"name":"Conference on Organizational Computing Systems","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127248149","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 model uses multiple inheritance and an overhead transparency metaphor to construct a network of activities. Each 'sheet' holds portions of the network to be constructed. Some of these sheets contain local modifications that are not shared among other similar activities and others hold general specifications that all instances should follow, assuming that they have not been locally modified. When all the sheets are stacked together, they create a composite view of the network. Individual sheets can be removed and replaced with newer, presumably compatible, sheets that change the network. This type of replacement can be encoded into surrogates which automatically carry out the replacements to keep the obligation up-to-date. The obligation system has a built in error detection scheme that determines if network construction is invalid and, if so, disallows execution of the portions of the network that are in error.","PeriodicalId":338751,"journal":{"name":"Conference on Organizational Computing Systems","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133740833","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}

However, traditional system interoperability that focuses on making data and applications more accessible may not suffice. In collaborative work, the creating and acting on knowledge is inter-related. Collaborative interoperability should support the sharing and coordination of the knowledge represented by the relationships and context of the data. The requirements and dimensions of collaborative interoperability are outlined. The concept of a “collaborative transaction” is proposed as a knowledge representation and coordination scheme. The TeamBox design architecture is introduced. The feasibility of the architecture is illustrated by the description of a working prototype.","PeriodicalId":338751,"journal":{"name":"Conference on Organizational Computing Systems","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116399469","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}

In this paper, we consider models that are used for supporting the redesign of organizational work. These models are used to help discover opportunities for improvements in organizations, introducing information technologies where appropriate. To support the redesign of organizational work, models are needed for describing work configurations, and for identifying issues, exploring alternatives, and evaluating them. Several approaches are presented and compared. The i* framework — consisting of the Strategic Dependency and Strategic Rationale models — is discussed in some detail, as it is expressly designed for modelling and redesigning organizational work. We argue that models which view organizational participants as intentional actors with motivations and intents, and abilities and commitments, are needed to provide richer representations of organizational work to support its effective redesign. The redesign of a bank loan operation is used as illustration.","PeriodicalId":338751,"journal":{"name":"Conference on Organizational Computing Systems","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128112113","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}

Some aspects of workflow are found to be well suited to support BPR, as long as the process being supported meets one of three criteria.
