enterprises is often based on peer-to-peer interactions rather than centralized coordination. As a result, the conventional centralized process management architecture does not fit into the picture of inter-enterprise business-to-business E-Commerce. We have developed a Collaborative Process Manager (CPM

in facilitating complex, long running interactions for dynamic and collaborative processes operating in decentralized environments like the web. In this paper, we primarily present a vision for a technology aimed at providing a level of harmonization to multiple messages to form a single custom definable backbone

business processes for Business Process Management (BPM). These cross-boundary business processes together with the drivers of collaboration and network management as well as governance form one of the key challenges for today’s BPM research. In this study we thus systematically review literature and seek

and the execution of processes that comply with the conceptual models. In this paper a methodical interoperability framework is described for the management of collaborative business processes in the public sector. Building on this, it is described how business process models can stepwise be transformed

The Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) paradigm supports a collaborative business model, where business applications are built from independently developed services, and services and applications build up complex dependencies. Guaranteeing high dependability levels in such complex environment

in the form of a procedural model to reduce the complexity of the planning- and creation-tasks and to provide an example of how XML-based model transformation can enable integration on a conceptual level. 1 Collaborative Business Process Management Looking at the added-value chain of enterprises, a change

This paper describes a web-based interactive visual component for supporting online collaborative business process management. This component supports not only the outputs of visual information but also the input of visual information interactively. Most of traditional web-based visualizations

and applications to support evolving business processes. Workflow technology facilitates these by providing methodologies and software to support (i) business process modeling to capture business processes as workflow specifications, (ii) business process reengineering to optimize specified processes, and (iii

Workflow management promises a new solution to an age-old problem: controlling, monitoring, optimizing and supporting business processes. What is new about workflow management is the explicit representation of the business process logic which allows for computerized support. This paper discusses

Existing models for describing a process (such as a business process or a software development process) tend to focus on the \what " or the \how " of the process. For example, a health insurance claim process would typically be described in terms of a number of steps for assessing
