Glossary

Actor: :

Entity (human or computer) possessing a capability to act intelligently and process specific assignments (activities/tasks).

Atomic task: :

Task that can be handled by an individual actor.

CAS: :

Collective adaptive system.

Collaboration system (platform): :

Information system supporting execution of collaborative processes.

Collaborative process (collaboration): :

Joint effort of a (limited) number of actors with the goal of performing a task. A collaborative process has a limited duration and requires coordination among actors (due to task dependencies).

Composite task: :

Task that must be handled by multiple actors due to size or complexity. A composite task...
