This article considers collaboration issue and data management issue as the key points of crisis management. In this context, the presented research works focus on a crisis management metamodel, dedicated to provide a way to class incoming data by connecting it to concepts of the metamodel. Such instances would then become intelligible for crisis management tools. This metamodel includes several points...
In crisis management context, coordination of partners is a crucial requirement. However, defining, orchestrating and maintaining collaborative behavior of stakeholders of crisis management are arduous tasks. This article presents an approach dedicated to support these three missions in crisis management context. This objective is achieved according to three abstraction levels in charge of covering...
Web service composition, as one of the key aspects in web service domain, has attracted more and more research attentions. Generally, in order to provide a powerful function to a specific problematic, several web services should combine and work together. Such a collaboration of web services is regarded as web service composition. There are two main difficulties in web service composition: selecting...
Modelling and model transformation are regarded as two pillars of model-driven engineering; they have been used together to solve practical problems. For instance, since different models (e.g. data model) are used by heterogeneous partners involved in a specific collaborative situation, there is an urgent need for model transformations to exchange information among the heterogeneous partners. To quickly...
Designing and/or managing collaborative social systems are obviously a complicated task, mainly due to the heterogeneity of the partners involved in terms of objectives, resources, information systems and so on. Whatever approach is adopted to support the collaboration (Mediation Information System, Peer-to-peer, Centralized Information System, etc.), one unavoidable issue is Knowledge Management...
The French project OpenPaaS aims at providing a social platform to help companies initiating and managing their collaborations. Nowadays, data exchange is no sufficient and collaborations need to be supported for every interaction between the actors of the collaboration. This paper concerns a PaaS in charge of supporting the deduction of collaborative business processes that involve subscribing organizations...
This paper deals with a result of a French funded project named SIMPeTra that aims at designing an agile decision support system for road crisis management. This collaborative system helps crisis cell stakeholders by providing a tool able to support decision considering the current and the awaited crisis situation. The SIMPeTra system offers a way for crisis management unit to take more relevant and...
Across application domains, organizations and enterprises (such as Small-Medium Enterprises) gain their strengths from flexible market orientation, agile value chains and cluster-based innovation capacity. The changing global (business) environment challenges all organizations to aim for agility and performance-driven management through process-focused thinking. These challenges reach far beyond the...
Efficiency of emerging digital ecosystems is strongly dependent on the efficiency of their collaborative processes. One crucial component of this efficiency is agility of collaborative processes. This article first provides a vision of agility of process in the world of workflow orchestration. Two approaches to deal with this issue (SAR from the European project PLAY and agility service from the French...
The European PLAY project aims at defining a federated-open-trusted platform able to deal with events emitted by any device. That platform should be able to combine a publish/subscribe mechanism with complex event processing in order to use the huge amount of produced events as a shared knowledge. The PLAY platform may so be able to (i) inform users (or devices) with relevant events and (ii) suggest...

This paper presents an ontology-based approach for the design of a Collaborative Business Process model (CBP). The study is part of a model driven engineering approach of mediation information systems. We developed a Knowledge-Based System (KBS), which is composed of three main parts: knowledge gathering, knowledge representation & reasoning, and collaborative business process modeling. The knowledge...
In a collaborative situation, involving several partners, a BPM approach may be useful to support the design of a Mediation Information System (MIS), in charge of ensuring interoperability between partners' IS. For such an objective, there are two main barriers, which are: (i) building collaborative business process cartography, and (ii) once the collaborative business process cartography defined,...
This article presents a model-driven approach to improve interoperability into emerging ecosystems. This approach proposes to design a Mediation Information System (MIS) dedicated to deal with exchanged data, shared services and collaborative processes. The MIS design crosses the different abstraction layers (business, logic and technological) and exploits at each level the associated models to build...
One objective of the French-funded (ANR-2006-SECU-006) ISyCri Project (ISyCri stands for Interoperability of Systems in Crisis situation) is to provide the crisis cell in charge of the situation management with an information system (IS) able to support the interoperability of partners involved in this collaborative situation. Such a system is called Mediation Information System (MIS). This system...
