“…In (Picard, 2006b), negotiations have been proposed as a method for adaptation of social protocols. The idea of negotiation of social protocol has been presented as "an attempt to weaken constraints usually limiting the interaction between collaborators, so that the adaptation capabilities of humans may be integrate in the life of a social protocol".…”

Support for human-to-human interactions over a network is still insufficient, particularly for professional virtual communities (PVC). Among other limitations, adaptation and learning-by-experience capabilities of humans are not taken into account in existing models for collaboration processes in PVC. This paper presents a model for adaptive human collaboration. A key element of this model is the use of negotiation for adaptation of social protocols modelling processes. A second contribution is the proposition of various adaptation propagation strategies as means for continuous management of the PVC inheritance.human interactions over a network is still insufficient and more research has to be done to provide both theoretical and practical knowledge to this field.Among various reasons for the weak support for human-to-human interactions, one may distinguish the following three reasons: first, many social elements are involved in the interaction among humans. An example of such a social element may be the role played by humans during their interactions. Social elements are usually difficult to model, e.g. integrating non-verbal communication to collaboration models. Therefore, their integration to a model of interaction between humans is not easy. A second reason is the adaptation capabilities of humans which are not only far more advanced than adaptation capabilities of software entities, but also not taken into account in existing models for collaboration processes. A third reason is the learning-by-experience capabilities of humans, i.e. the capabilities to extract know-how and knowledge from previous experience and reuse it in similar situations.Human-to-human interactions between people sharing a common practice have been studied for many years. Wenger coined the term of Community of Practice (CoP) to refer to "a set of interacting people engaged in a common practice. Practice refers to the work people do, but also to the ideas behind itthe shared understandings and the activities.

“…In a second phase, a user-driven procedure identifies possible processes by exploring the relationships defined in the ontology (applying either a top-down approach -starting with very general processes and checking if the executed tasks can be expanded into sub-processes -or a bottom-up approach -starting with atomic processes, collapsing them and checking if more general processes can be identified) and transforms them to an "intermediate" model. We believe that the concept of social networks [19][20] could represent a satisfactory solution for this intermediate model. It can be represented in a graphical form (as a finite state machine), captures the behavior of the process (the roles and their actions) and can model the same process at different levels of details, using building blocks [21].…”

The increasing mobility due to Bologna process forces the academic partners to increase the inter-operability of their administrative processes, by interacting through a collaborative networks and therefore acting as an academic virtual organization. To facilitate the communication and the comprehension of the administrative processes between the components of the CN, the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is proposed in this paper as a standard graphical model for administrative processes and transactions. The adaptability of this standard for academic processes and the difficulties of "translating" the actual administrative models (legal texts) in BPMN diagrams are analyzed.

“…WS-CDL can be used to model negotiations from the global point of view, so it is suitable for integrating models focused on local (negotiator's) point of view. Moreover WS-CDL standard is an information driven language and as such, it facilitates integration of advanced protocols, e. g. states in a social protocol (Picard, 2006) can be directly modelled as WS-CDL variables and any associated logic for such a protocol can be added as a set of web services deployed in a middleware for WS-CDL execution.…”
