Proyecto STIC-AmSud: "Ontological and metamodelling support for collaborative business processes in a Process-Aware Inter-organizational Service-Based interoperability platform for e-government"

Abstract

A key motivation for the project is that interoperability across heterogeneous organizations is a complex task, where a key element to enable real collaboration between them is to define without ambiguity the concepts that are involved and their relations. Integrating this knowledge and information in an interoperability platform allows participants to connect their own solutions to the software provided by the platform, in an easier way. Previous works from the participant research groups have dealt with ontologies and metamodels for crisis management, interoperability platforms definition, collaborative processes modeling and execution in BPMS platforms, process- aware information systems, and e-government solutions. The results of the project will integrate existing knowledge and previous works from the participant research groups, generating a more complete, integrated and robust proposal to be used as basis for inter-organizational collaboration in the e-government domain. Also this project aims at promoting future collaborations for other domains such as health, education, among others.
