“…Several works have been carried out in order to resolve the main process mismatch patterns that can occur when two processes interact. A survey is given here (Munusamy et al, 2011). Benatallah et al (2005) developed a set of patterns that capture the possible mismatches that can occur between two communicating business processes.…”

In the European project IMAGINE we address the problem of cross-organisational processes interoperability in dynamic collaboration environments for product detailed design. By dynamicity, we mean that partners can quit the collaboration and be replaced by other partners at run-time. We first propose to capture the objective of the collaboration, that is reaching agreements between the involved partners on the configurations of the final product components. Successfully capturing agreements contributes to minimising the coupling between partners which reduces the impact of changes in the collaboration environment. Then, from the specification of agreements, we generate the cross-organisational process that automates message exchanges between partners. Nevertheless, the fragments of this cross-organisational process can face interoperability issues during run-time. This issue arises because each process fragment belonging to a partner should be generated while upholding business rules of this partner. Accordingly, we propose an automatic mediation approach that is well-adapted for dynamic collaboration environments. We present the implementation and the evaluation of our framework and an industrial case study is followed to illustrate how our framework can be used in practice.

“…If an organization quits the network we are obliged to regenerate a new mediator and redeploy it in the collaborative platform, which can be time consuming and expensive. Munusamy et al [27] provide a thorough state of the art on the techniques that generate adapters to resolve mismatches between two communicating business processes.…”

Reaching agreements between organizations in a collaborative environment is a way to ensure interoperability between these organizations at all levels. For business processes interoperability this agreement can be reached by well defining the cross-organizational process. However most BPM frameworks have used meta-models centered on flows of activities, with the data manipulated by these activities seen as second-class citizens. For business analysts (for example in complex product design collaborative environments) data plays a major role. In this paper, we propose a methodology backed by a conceptual framework to model the cross-organizational process relying on the product model. This framework defines the evolution of the product model through a finite number of states, and then automatically generates executable artifacts to support the collaboration during run-time phase. This approach is being implemented in the living laboratory provided by EADS in the context of the European project IMAGINE.
