A B S T R A C TOrganizations are more and more involved into collaborations to face globalization, crisis situations or market demand. Consequently, they are strongly dependent on their collaborative processes and matching workflows, which have to be relevant and efficient through time. As collaborations and their context are now fast evolving, agility of collaborative workflows is now an unavoidable requirement. Several solutions have been developed to deal with this issue, but they often focus their monitoring on a single aspect of the collaboration and/or impose a single adaptation strategy to face the detected evolutions. This article describes a platform to support decisionmaking about the adaptation strategy to lead by: (i) taking into account and exploit relevant data gathered from the collaboration itself and its environment (context awareness); (ii) proposing relevant adaptation strategies to correct or improve the collaborative behaviour. Based on the solutions proposed by the platform, decisionmakers can choose the most appropriate adaptation tool to perform the selected adaptation strategy. As crisis responses are specific cases of collaboration in an unstable context of execution (short time to react, highly evolving environment), a proof of concept based on the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster is developed to illustrate the use of the developed platform.

“…Dynamic interorganizational processes refer to CPs where the different partners involved are not necessarily known at design-time, or can evolve at run-time (e.g., they become unavailable or their quality of service decreases significantly, etc.) [14][15][32][33]. The provided solutions support finding new partners offering requested services [14,[32][33], along with negotiation [34], contracting and service execution, in separate or comprehensive frameworks [35].…”

Process aware Information Systems (PaIS) have an ever-increasing importance in Enterprise Information Systems for supporting both their intra and inter-organizational processes. However PaIS still have important issues to address, including flexibility of inter-organizational (i.e., collaborative) processes before their definitive acceptance and their use in companies. This paper addresses this issue advocating (i) the modelling of collaborative processes as BPMN collaboration, (ii) the use of the version notion to deal with collaborative process flexibility and to make process instance migration easier, and (iii) the introduction of 6 new adaptation patterns which are highlevel operations for collaborative process schema update.

“…-Natural abstractions to deal with cooperation. A lot of sophisticated protocols like Contract-Net Protocols and Negotiation mechanisms are available and could be used to coordinate processes ([11] [12]). Agent technology also provides organizational concepts to abstract and structure a system as a computational community made of groups, roles and interaction.…”

Abstract. This work deals with coupling Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) with Computerized PrescriberOrder Entry (CPOE) and their dynamic plugging in the medical Workflow Management System (WfMS). First, in this paper we argue some existing CDSS representative of the state of the art in order to emphasize their inability to deal with coupling with CPOE and medical WfMS. The multi-agent technology is at the basis of our proposition since (i) it provides natural abstractions to deal with distribution, heterogeneity and autonomy which are inherent to the previous systems (CDSS, CPOE and medical WfMS), and (ii) it introduces powerful concepts such as organizations, goals and roles useful to describe in details the coordination of the different components involved in these systems. In this paper, we also propose a Multi-Agent System (MAS) to support the coupling CDSS with CPOE. Finally, we show how we integrate the proposed MAS in the medical workflow management system which is also based on collaborating agents.
