Abstract :
In this work we present a methodology to express both analytically and graphically the interdependencies among tasks realized in a collaborative environment. For each interdependency expression, a coordination mechanism is built, modeling the global behavior of the environment, i.e., the structure that ensures the realization of the tasks according to the established interdependencies.
