CPDP: a 3-step process definition approach

Process definition plays an important role in workflow management system as well as many other CSCW applications. Unfortunately, in most cases process definition is fulfilled by designer´s intuition, which can neither guarantee the correctness of process design nor decrease the difficulty of integration greatly. By depicting the original cooperative task formally, we propose a 3-step process definition approach. In this way we can model the cooperative tasks uniformly. Moreover, a uniform analyzing tool can also be created.
