DynG: A Protocol-Based Prototype for Non-monolithic Electronic Collaboration

Abstract

Abstract. Existing systems supporting collaboration processes typically implement a single, fixed collaboration protocol, and collaboration process takes place inside a single group. In this paper, we present the DynG prototype which provides support for multiple collaboration protocols for non-monolithic collaboration processes, i.e. collaboration processes in which collaboration is spread among many groups, having different protocols depending on what the group is aimed at. Collaboration protocols used by the DynG prototype integrate communicative, "acting", and social aspects of collaboration processes and must be semantically and structurally valid.

Technologies for Business Information Systems

“…One may notice the similarity with the concept of social protocol. The reason for this fact is that the model presented in this paper was originally coming from a work on protocols for electronic negotiations (Picard and Huriaux 2006). However, to our knowledge, none of the works concerning negotiation protocols provides mechanisms for protocol adaptation.…”

“…One may notice the similarity with the concept of social protocol. The reason for this fact is that the model presented in this paper was originally coming from a work on protocols for electronic negotiations [12,13]. However, these works are by nature limited to the field of electronic negotiations which is just a subset of the field of human collaboration, and may not be applied directly to ERP systems.…”
