Abstract :
With the development of economy and technology, inter-organizational workflow has become a key point in the effective and efficient cooperation between companies. On the analysis of inter-organization reference model, a new method, communication protocol, is proposed to intercommunicate between the local workflows. An example is provided to explain the intercommunication using protocols. Compared to other method, this one has a clear structure, and can be easily extended for other forms of workflows.
