Finding partners in the coordination of Loose Inter-Organizational Workflow

Abstract

This work deals with coordination in the context of loose Inter-Organizational Workflow (IOW). Loose IOW refers to occasional cooperation, free of structural constraints, where the partners involved and their number are not pre-defined. We discuss three possible abstract architectures for the design and development of IOW and highlight the one that matches the requirements of loose IOW. Afterwards, we detail the selected architecture according to an agent-group-role based approach, which is in addition compliant with the WfMC reference architecture. Finally, we give an overview of our implementation limited for the moment to a matchmaker finding workflow partners.
