“…Current solutions like BPEL [11] and ebXML BPSS [16] are pre-determined and pre-specified, have narrow applicability and are almost impossible to reuse and manage. The same applies to works from academia like from workflow [1,5], system development [6,29] and enterprize modeling [31].…”

Abstract. Current composite web service development and management solutions, e.g. BPEL, do not cater for flexible and adaptive business collaborations due to their pre-defined and inflexible nature that precludes them accommodating business dynamics. In this paper we propose a rule driven approach for adaptive business collaboration development in which rules drive and govern the development process. We introduce the Business Collaboration Development Framework (BCDF), which provides enterprizes with the context to define their capabilities and business collaboration agreements. Subsequently, we explain how rules can drive and control the business collaboration development process to develop complete, correct and consistent business collaboration agreements that are conform the conditions under which parties wish to cooperate.

“…At the same time, however, there is no formal planning of when two nurses have to assemble to give blood since such scheduling would lock their multi-tasking and constant replanning because of unforeseen events into a rigid scheme (See e.g. Bowers, Button et al 1995).…”

Local mobility is a central aspect of collaborative work that is in need of close analysis. Between the face-to-face interaction of offices or control rooms and longdistance interaction facilitated through e.g. telephones, e-mail, the www or teleconferences lie a number of work-settings in which actors move about continuously in order to accomplish their work. They do so because they need to get access to knowledge, resources, persons and/or places. We analyze the integral nature of mobility to this kind of work practice from the ethnographic description of a hospital department, and the challenges that actors have to face to accomplish their work. Based on this ethnographic case, we propose a set of concepts for understanding local mobility as an intermediate field of distributed cooperation between centres of coordination and remote collaboration. Finally, we introduce the concept of 'mobility work' as complementary to the concept of 'articulation work'.

“…A continuous stream of contingent support work was needed in ''making the system work'' [27] as the patient case was taken through the consultation service. This articulation work [26] was carried out both in individual tasks and on the level of cooperating the entire process.…”

After the design and development of the teleradiology system, a work practice oriented approach was used to gain a more holistic understanding of the relationship between the emerging work practice and the newly implemented technology, and to provide information for redesigning the system. The approach which utilized ethnographically informed fieldwork and cooperative workshops was introduced. Cooperation, the chain of tasks, and articulation work of teleradiology work practice were described, with the focus on image interpretation in particular. From the point of view of radiologists' image interpretation work, a report was made on how these findings influenced the evaluation and redesign of the system. Furthermore, the problematics of distributed collaboration, reorganization of work, and education are emphasized.
