Collaborative modeling from an end-user perspective

Abstract

Current approaches to collaborative modeling mainly focus on facilitated modeling workshops. This approach proves to be very beneficial when big parts of processes have to be newly designed that require the interaction of multiple process stakeholders. However as modern businesses require flexible adaption of processes to changing environments inside and outside an organization, this approach is not always feasible. So my goal is to seamlessly integrate tight and loosely coupled interaction in collaborative modeling. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
