Combining Communication and Coordination Toward Articulation of Collaborative Activities
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a proposal for the articulation of collaborative activities based on communication and coordination representation models. Articulation is essential in any kind of collaboration and involves prearticulation of the tasks, their management, and post-articulation. For the representation of preand post-articulation phases, conversation clichés (communication) are used. For the coordination phase, a model separating the tasks and their interdependencies is used. The articulation schema, which is especially suited to e-business applications, is then applied to a business-web example.
