TL;DR: Enterprise modeling supports a common understanding of business processes for different stakeholders across organizations and serves as basis to generate executable models that include knowledge of internal processes as well as demands for CBPs.
Abstract: Increasing cooperation of organizations leads to the necessity of efficient modeling and implementation of cross-organizational business processes (CBPs). 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.

Abstract: Today software engineering is facing the problem of the development of distributed software systems. Due to distribution these systems inherit specific problems that need to be tackled during the development. Our approach to handle the problem is to provide an integrated development environment that is based on clear and powerful concepts and which allows to structure a system in a domainoriented way. As the conceptual basis we apply agent-oriented Petri nets. For the practical part of the control of such applications we use agent-based workflow management system (WFMS) technology. In this paper we illustrate for Change Management, as an important part of the development process, how to apply our

TL;DR: This paper discusses how to represent multi-party collaborations and presents two approaches: one is based on binary collaborations complemented with choreographies, and the other draws upon the notion of extended binary collaborations.
Abstract: This paper analyzes binary collaborations and multi-party collaborations in the context of business processes and proposes a lifecycle in which collaborations are first represented with abstract models called collaboration processes, then embodied in business processes and finally implemented in BPEL. In particular this paper discusses how to represent multi-party collaborations and presents two approaches: one is based on binary collaborations complemented with choreographies, and the other draws upon the notion of extended binary collaborations.

TL;DR: This paper proposes a three steps method for workflows semantic description that is in line with a novel approach for interorganizational workflow cooperation that consists of workflow advertisement, interconnection, and cooperation.
Abstract: The work we present here is in line with a novel approach for interorganizational workflow cooperation that consists of workflow advertisement, interconnection, and cooperation. 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.

TL;DR: This article addresses the challenges of lifecycle management of cross-organizational collaborative processes imposes several organizational and technological challenges that results from the multiple-independent-actors-environment of collaborations and proposes a technical architecture that prototypically implements these concepts.
Abstract: Business process lifecycle management is established for the continuous improvement of internal business processes that do not exceed company borders. Therefore, the concept could also be applied to enhance collaborative business processes spanning over multiple enterprises. In contrast to the intraorganizational case, lifecycle management of cross-organizational collaborative processes imposes several organizational and technological challenges that results from the multiple-independent-actors-environment of collaborations. In this article, we address these challenges and present a conceptual solution for the different phases of this lifecycle. Finally, we propose a technical architecture that prototypically implements these concepts.
