1 ECOO - Environment for cooperation

Due to the popularization of internet, cooperative applications are expected to become commonplace on the WEB. We are especially interested in cooperation in temporarily virtual enterprises. This paper introduces a new operator, called COO, which contributes to a better organization of the interactions between cooperating activities that current workflow operators alone can. After motivating the interest of this operator, we give it a semantics and discuss its feasibility.
