Supporting the evolution of workflow patterns for virtual communities. Weigand, H., Moor, A. d., & Heuvel, W. v. d. 2000.
abstract   bibtex   
Virtual communities that make use of network information systems (NIS) have a need for specification support that agrees with their communal character. System specification changes must be acceptable to all members for a community to thrive. We concentrate on the specification of workflow-enabling communication tools rather than information tools that support a single user. In a previous paper, we have defined various levels of workflow specification, from speech acts to scenarios. Once patterns for these levels have been identified, they can be stored in a component library and be (re)-used effectively by communities to speed up their NIS development. To ensure the acceptability of changes in workflow patterns, we propose to apply an existing method for legitimate user-driven specification.
