Enterprise interoperability and collaborative work are
two aspects to involve in knowledge oriented enterprise
collaboration. The first one implies a rather systemic
view, the second one a rather activity related view on
collaboration of enterprises within their ecosystems. For
example, manufacturing or distribution are often dealt
with by applying an input-output perspective. Product
development or supply maintenance are increasingly
organized as a set of networked activities performed by
different actors inside and outside the enterprise, and
therefore are to be dealt with by applying the perspective
of composite practices.
Information technology is challenged to support both
aspects. However, the predominant approaches in
modelling and engineering of systems still permit
instantiations with low adaptivity. This interferes with
easy take-up in business practice. On this background,
the paper suggests enhancing existing structure with
additional features to ease adaptivity of enterprise
collaboration systems. It reflects work that was done on
the subjects of enterprise interoperability and
collaborative working environments.
