Abstract
We contribute to the understanding of collaboration in enterprise process models and adaptation to unforeseen variations thereof. To address the need for flexibility we take an example from the life-saving domain and translate qualitatively collected process data of a concrete medical intervention into a computer-interpretable guideline model. To overcome implementation barriers we apply the coordination modeling language Paradigm, as a possible approach, which addresses coordination of collaborating components in terms of dynamic constraints. Its component McPal enables adding new behavior, and, subsequently, gradually adapting the system without quiescence.
