Luís M. Camarinha-Matos, C. Pantoja-Lima · 2000
The availability of a modeling and management framework for distributed business processes is a major requirement for the implantation of the virtual enterprise paradigm. The business process creation, distribution, and execution requirements are discussed and a workflow-based modeling and execution approach and support tools are presented. Finally major results on coordination of such processes from two research projects are summarized and directions for further research outlined. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
