It deals with the organization of the collaboration, as well as with the data sharing issues involved, including a range of particular restrictions that scenario designers may want to impose on the users.

One has also argued that they are an important asset whenintegrating legacy systems within an organization. In the following, their applicabilityin an inter-organizational setting will be evaluated. This is done by grasping requirementsof three different inter-organizational applications and relating them with the facilitiesoffered by some

First, I wish to thank Xavier Serra for offering me the opportunity to work at the MTG. The second person I want to thank is Perfe. I have no words to express my gratitude for his help and support. During my years at the MTG, I have been working on several projects, but especially a European Project called PHAROS. I thank Pedro Cano for giving me this chance, and a special thank also to Martin Blech and Mohamed Sordo. I also want thank my MIR colleagues and their very useful suggestions since my early works: Emilia Gómez, Enric Guaus and Joan Serrà. Working in the MIR technology transfer team has been a great opportunity for me to meet very talented people such as Nicolas Wack, Roberto Toscano, Andreas Beisler, Eduard Aylon, Owen Meyers, Koppi, Jordi Funollet and Vincent

One remedy suggested is to model organizational dynamics as "business processes" and provide a suitable tool support for this. In this context the buzzwords business process re-engineering and workflow have been often quoted. The basic idea in this thinking is to view the functioning of an organization to consist of business processes and provide computer support for as large part of the processes as possible through "workflow systems". There are currently perhaps hundreds of products which claim to support workflows. We believe that workflow techniques are a proper way of supporting the process approach, but that the approach requires further development for several reasons. In this paper, we will discuss the development needs by presenting organizational and architectural considerations and requirements resulting from them for the workflow techniques. One centra...

Our strategy in preparing this deliverable has been to describe the tools that we plan to implement, rather than an idyllic collection of tools in the clouds. Because of this, we have made an effort to describe the tool set components in a tangible way, by making use of TM and LOTOS /TM formal specifications when appropriate. As an added benefit, these specifications can later be simulated as part of the cooperative application desig...
