现代商业环境往往涉及到一个大型网络的异构的人，设备和组织之间的协作过程中从事。鉴于这种协作的性质以及合作伙伴信息系统之间的高度互操作性，这些流程需要灵活，以便对协作过程中随时可能发生的环境变化做出响应。目标是建立一个调解信息系统（MIS），以支持协作情况，其体系结构必须（i）与所考虑的协作情况相关，（ii）更容易集成到现有系统中，以及（iii）通过其对环境和过程事件的感知而足够敏捷，为了应用敏捷性机制，关键是要检测到将导致情况随后演变的重要事件（检测步骤）。采用事件驱动架构（EDA）设计系统中负责MIS敏捷性的部分的结构。这种架构考虑到事件，管理它们，如果需要的话，使用它们来触发适应的MIS。我们已经定义了一种手段来监控情况的演变。如果相关的变化被检测到，如果情况没有按照预期的方式发展，提出了一个adaptation.它的结论是，检测和适应的原则，结合系统的响应性（由自动化的转换提供），并基于事件驱动架构的原则，共同提供协作过程所需的敏捷性。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
The modem business environment tends to involve a large network of heterogeneous people, devices and organizations that engage in collaborative processes among themselves. Given the nature of this type of collaboration and the high degree of interoperability between partner Information Systems, these processes need to be agile in order to respond to changes in context, which may occur at any time during the collaborative situation.The objective is to build a Mediation Information System (MIS), in support of collaborative situations, whose architecture must be (i) built to be relevant to the collaborative situation under consideration, (ii) more easily integrated into the existing systems, and (iii) sufficiently agile, through its awareness of the environment and of process events, and through the way it reacts to events detected as being relevant.To apply agility mechanisms, it is crucial to detect the significant events that will lead to a subsequent evolution of the situation (detection step). Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) is used to design the structure of the part of the system that is in charge of MIS agility. This architecture takes the events into account, manages them and, if needed, uses them to trigger the adaptation of the MIS.We have defined a means to monitor the evolution of the situation. If relevant changes are detected, and if the situation does not evolve in the expected way, an adaptation is proposed.It is concluded that the principles of detection and adaptation, combined with the responsiveness of the system (provided by the automation of transitions), and based on Event Driven Architecture principles, together provide the agility required for collaborative processes.
