An increasing level of cooperation between public administrations nowadays on national, regional and local level requires methods to develop interoperable EGovernment systems and leads to the necessity of an efficient modeling of collaborative business processes and their implementation. In this paper a framework to systematically develop interoperable systems in the public sector is described. The methodology is motivated and explained on the basis of an E-Government reference model for the German Plan Approval Procedure. In this context it is described how cross-organizational business processes can be modeled and transformed to technical process models in the form of Web Service protocols. After a motivation for the need of interoperability frameworks and a description of related work, section 3 introduces the methodical interoperability framework. Further detailing the contents of this framework, section 4 presents a method for the creation of collaborative business processes on a conceptual level. Section 5 changes to the execution level and describes how to implement the conceptual models created before with Web Service protocols. Section 6 concludes the paper and gives an outlook on future research.
New forms of cooperation like collaborative business scenarios require a deep but flexible integration of enterprises. In order to manage inter-organizational business processes, existing concepts for business process management need to be adapted and extended. In this paper an approach is presented, that shows how cross-organizational processes can be planned and implemented. The approach in this article describes the conceptual preparation of CBPs independently from specific techniques used for execution. However, the authors consider the potentials of their execution offered by agents in comparison to other state of art techniques like WS-BPEL engines.
Das Konzept der vernetzten Verwaltung, das digitale Netzwerktechnologien mit der kooperativen Nutzung gesellschaftlich verfügbaren Wissens und Engagements kombiniert, erfordert eine neue Sicht auf bestehende Verwaltungsprozesse und -strukturen. In diesem Buch zeigen mehr als 20 Autoren aus Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft und Verwaltung, dass Föderalismus und Vernetzung sich nicht ausschließen, sondern die "Zutaten" einer kundenfreundlichen, leistungsfähigen und wirtschaftlichen öffentlichen Verwaltung sind - ein praxisnaher Einstieg in die aktuelle Modernisierungsdebatte der vernetzten Verwaltung!
