Title
CrossFlow: Cross-Organizational Workflow Management for Service Outsourcing in Dynamic Virtual Enterprises
Abstract
CrossFlow is an ESPRIT/IST project for support of cross-organizational workflow management in dy- namically established virtual enterprises. The business paradigm of CrossFlow is that of dynamic ser- vice outsourcing, in which one organization (service consumer) outsources part of its business process to another organization (service provider). Service consumer and provider find each other through elec- tronic market places and specify their collaboration in an electronic contract. This contract is then used to dynamically configure an infrastructure that connects and controls the workflow management sys- tems of both organizations to facilitate provision of the service. The infrastructure supports fine-grained monitoring and control to allow tight cooperation between the organizations.
