Cooperative information systems (CIS) aim at continued cooperativity between user groups through componentized networks of information systems. Change management is therefore a definitional part of CIS. We advocate a conceptual modeling strategy for addressing this task, and illustrate it with experiences gained in WibQuS, a project aimed at CIS support for Total Quality Management in manufactu...

Explanation for Cooperative Information Systems

Cooperative Information Systems provide approximate answers to a user's query when exact answers are unavailable and summary answers when answer sets are too large. Yet without an explanation of how and why such answers were derived, it is hard to estimate their usefulness.
