Abstract A computer implemented process for enterprise collaboration is provided. The process includes designing a workflow where the workflow has at least one heterocast split and at least one heterocast join. The heterocast split and the heterocast join allow at least one activity to be parameterized, and at least one of the parameters comprising nodes within a node group. The workflow is then instantiated such that the at least one activity is instantiated as a plurality of activities each tailored to a particular node in the node group. The process then involves deploying the workflow including distributing the activities over the nodes in the node group, and executing the workflow to provide multi-enterprise collaboration
A computer implemented process for enterprise collaboration, comprising: designing a workflow, the workflow including at least one heterocast split and at least one heterocast join; the heterocast split and the heterocast join allowing at least one activity to be parameterized, at least one of the parameters comprising nodes within a node group; and instantiating the workflow such that the at least one activity is instantiated as a plurality of activities each tailored to a particular node in the node group; deploying the workflow including distributing the activities over the nodes in the node group; and executing the workflow to provide multi-enterprise collaboration.
