Abstract

Virtual enterprise gathers partners distributed in space, time and organizations, in order to achieve a common goal. Their business process realization needs the coordination of their distributed interactions. This paper presents the Synchronization Point model. It provides support for cooperative process management and coordination. It offers pertinent information about work progress while maintaining adequate privacy of information, and supports both long-timetransactions and dynamic process definition. Then, its data repository and activity manager helps human interactions in cross-organizational applications.
