Abstract.Collaborative business scenarios require a flexible integration of enterprises. To manage inter-organizational business processes, existing concepts for business process management (BPM) need to be adopted and extended. This paper presents a conceptual architecture for cross-enterprise processes' planning, implementation, and controlling. Core component of the architecture is a distributed repository managing all required data and information, which especially obtains a process-oriented view on collaboration networks. Crossorganizational processes need close coordination among networking partners. This is achieved through the integration of business process models. Thus we further propose a procedure model of an XML-based model transformation, which reduces complexity of the modeling-task and enables model integration on a conceptual level.

The paper presents new organizational and technological options of process management as a result of a design-oriented research approach with particular consideration of self-organization and collective intelligence. The authors conceptually develop options for action. The concept is illustrated by a prototype platform for process management and real-world application scenarios in the construction industry. The paper finally presents an evaluation of the design-oriented research approach.
