A knowledge-based adaptive collaborative work system implementation framework

In collaborative environment, to complete a business often needs cross-organizational cooperation. Traditional workflow modeling methods cannot express this kind of cooperation completely. Furthermore, current workflow systems lack adaptability and flexibility. Firstly, this paper made use of the basic cooperative unit and virtual cooperative unit to model cooperation within one organization or among organizations. Then, it used knowledge related to them to express the cooperation. After that, a collaborative process based on cooperative units meta-model was proposed. On the basis of the meta-model, a knowledge-based adaptive collaborative work system implementation framework was designed. In this framework, knowledge management for cooperative units was involved, which give collaborative process better adaptability and flexibility.
