Abstract

The processes enacting cross-organizational collaboration continually evolve to adapt to changing business environments. These processes may evolve at any time during collaboration when collaborative organizations should respond timely to critical environment changes. Atomicity is an important requirement for maintaining application consistency. The satisfaction of this requirement at the commencement of collaboration may no longer be held after process evolution. This paper analyzes three basic scenarios of process evolution in cross- organizational collaboration, and proposes a collection of guidelines to govern atomicity-preserving evolution during collaboration.
