Abstract

Abstract Modelling socio-technical systems such as cyber-physical systems (CPS) is becoming increasingly complex, due to their heterogeneous and highly dynamic nature. Collaboration between multiple stakeholders is needed to deal with this complexity. While collaboration has been studied extensively in process modelling, there is a lack of research in collaborative process design. In this paper, we propose a model of collaboration in process design, based on the co-evolution of design ideas across different process designers. We show how this model can be used for testing hypotheses related to task openness, modes of collaboration, and modelling tools. Research models based on co-evolution are proposed for testing each hypothesis. The co-evolution model can advance our understanding of process design by providing a basis for empirically studying the contextual factors likely to contribute to collaborative ideation.KeywordsProcess designCollaborationSocial creativityCo-evolutionS-BPM
