MBC - Mobile Business Collaboration

The inherent mobility of mobility devices is replacing the fixed work environments, making such devices a kind of indispensable good, both personally and professionally. The rise of Web 2.0 allows user interaction and collaboration, employing, for instance, web applications in mobile devices. Today, SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) is the most widely adopted paradigm for development of distributed applications, increasing the interoperability between heterogeneous systems. The web services technology has become the preferred approach to implement solutions based on SOA paradigm. Process-oriented business management aims to design and control the organizational structures in a very flexible way. Thus, these organizations can rapidly adapt to changing conditions of the organization’s structure and operation. The BPM (Business Process Management) systems make the bridge between business analysts and the software developers. This document describes a platform which allows the modeling and execution of specific tasks of a domain, using business processes. The activation and update of these business processes can be performed by users, using a client application independent of the used terminal (TV, Smartphone, Laptop, Tablet), or by external systems, using the web services technology. The MBC project aims the integration of proposed solution with the collaborative platform developed by PT Inovação, called PUC. Palavras Chave Keywords
