Supporting Distributed Cooperative Work in CAGIS

This paper describes how the CAGIS environment can be used to manage work-processes, cooperative processes, and how to share and control information in a distributed, heterogeneous environment. We have used a conference organising process as a scenario and applied our CAGIS environment on this process. The CAGIS environment consists of three main parts: a document management system, a process management system, and a transaction management system. The paper describes how these main parts may be configured and used together in order to support cooperative work in distributed environments.
