Abstract

Abstract: In order to be completely adopted by industry, the Workflow Management Systems (WFMS) have to provide a more complete support to organisational processes. The cooperation is part of the missing features. In this paper, we propose to integrate a Computer Supported Cooperative Work system in a WFMS to solve the cooperation problem. This integration consists in an interoperability between the two systems thanks to the Meta-Object Facility and the inheritance. By describing the construction scenario of the bridge between the two systems, this paper shows the benefits in using the MOF for achieving interoperability.Keywords.
