Abstract

Framework contracts are the main instrument to regulate the cooperation of organizations but they are rarely sufficiently elaborated to actually support the daily routine of interaction. In order to provide this support we suggest the development of interaction flows, interorganizational workflows that describe routine behaviour on a detailed level (sunny-day scenario). They are complemented by business rules which cover exceptional behaviour.
