Abstract
The modeling of collaborative business processes is an important issue in order to allow enterprises to implement B2B collaborations with their business partners. We have proposed an MDA-based methodology for the modeling, verification and implementation of collaborative processes. Since collaborative process models are the main artifacts in this MDA-based methodology, a suitable modeling approach is required to design collaborative processes. In this work we describe a modeling approach for collaborative processes based on the UP-ColBPIP language, which is oriented to support the model-driven development of collaborative processes and B2B information systems. The behavior of collaborative processes is modeled through interaction protocols. Enhances to the control flow constructors of interaction protocols are introduced. In addition, we describe an Eclipse-based tool that supports this language.
