Abstract:
Many business enterprises are characterized
by their dynamic nature and transient work
arrangements. This in turn requires computer support
that goes beyond workflow systems. Instead it is
necessary to provide support for process emergence
and collaborative work with continually varying
team members. Focused organization collaborative
work is increasing with work becoming more
knowledge intensive. Support for putting together
team structures that facilitate knowledge sharing,
allocate responsibilities, and set up support services
are needed. Such support systems require semantics
for team construction and a ubiquitous approach to
implementing structures within practice. The paper
describes semantics for team construction and
feasibility of meeting them by illustrating a
prototype system that meets such requirements.
