Abstract
Abstract: In this paper, we propose an organizational model to describe the execution of business activities. The model offers a dynamic, actor centered, context based and business process oriented perspective of the organization that explicitly addresses the information and collaboration requirements derived from human multi-tasking capabilities. Actors are approached as a network of contexts managed by an “operating system”. Three kinds of actors are defined; human, business process and organization actor. Two context types are introduced. An action context defines the specific behavior and information needs of a human actor performing a task under a given role, at particular time intervals. Interaction contexts support and regulate activity-related interactions among action contexts. This modeling approach seeks to facilitate a personalized, proactive and timely knowledge support to human business actors. We illustrate these ideas with working examples.

The model offers a dynamic, actor centered, context based and business process oriented perspective of the organization that explicitly addresses the information and collaboration requirements derived from human multi-tasking capabilities. Actors are approached as a network of contexts managed by an “operating system”. Three kinds of actors are defined; human, business process and organization actor. Two context types are introduced. An action context defines the specific behavior and information needs of a human actor performing a task under a given role, at particular time intervals. Interaction contexts support and regulate activity-related interactions among action contexts. This modeling approach seeks to facilitate a personalized, proactive and timely knowledge support to human business actors. We illustrate these ideas with working examples.</p></abstract><textClass><keywords scheme="Book-Subject-Collection"><list><label>SUCO11645</label><item><term>Computer Science</term></item></list></keywords></textClass><textClass><keywords scheme="Book-Subject-Group"><list><label>I</label><label>I21017</label><label>I18032</label><label>I18040</label><label>I2301X</label><label>I24032</label><item><term>Computer Science</term></item><item><term>Artificial Intelligence (incl.

The model offers a dynamic, actor centered, context based and business process oriented perspective of the organization that explicitly addresses the information and collaboration requirements derived from human multi-tasking capabilities. Actors are approached as a network of contexts managed by an “operating system”. Three kinds of actors are defined; human, business process and organization actor. Two context types are introduced. An action context defines the specific behavior and information needs of a human actor performing a task under a given role, at particular time intervals. Interaction contexts support and regulate activity-related interactions among action contexts. This modeling approach seeks to facilitate a personalized, proactive and timely knowledge support to human business actors. We illustrate these ideas with working examples.</abstract><relatedItem type="host"><titleInfo><title>Professional Knowledge Management</title><subTitle>Third Biennial Conference, WM 2005, Kaiserslautern, Germany, April 10-13, 2005, Revised Selected Papers</subTitle></titleInfo><name type="personal"><namePart type="given">Klaus-Dieter</namePart><namePart type="family">Althoff</namePart><affiliation>Institute of Computer Science, University of Hildesheim, Marienburger Platz 22, 31141, Hildesheim, Germany</affiliation><affiliation>E-mail: althoff@iis.uni-hildesheim.de</affiliation><role><roleTerm type="text">editor</roleTerm></role></name><name type="personal"><namePart type="given">Andreas</namePart><namePart type="family">Dengel</namePart><affiliation>Knowledge Management Department, German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) GmbH, Kaiserslautern, Germany</affiliation><affiliation>E-mail: Andreas.Dengel@dfki.de</affiliation><role><roleTerm type="text">editor</roleTerm></role></name><name type="personal"><namePart type="given">Ralph</namePart><namePart type="family">Bergmann</namePart><affiliation>Department of Business Information Systems II, University of Trier, Trier, Germany</affiliation><affiliation>E-mail: bergmann@uni-trier.de</affiliation><role><roleTerm type="text">editor</roleTerm></role></name><name type="personal"><namePart type="given">Markus</namePart><namePart type="family">Nick</namePart><affiliation>Department for Experience Management, Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering, Kaiserslautern</affiliation><affiliation>E-mail: nick@iese.fraunhofer.de</affiliation><role><roleTerm type="text">editor</roleTerm></role></name><name type="personal"><namePart type="given">Thomas</namePart><namePart type="family">Roth-Berghofer</namePart><affiliation>Knowledge Management Department, German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) GmbH, Trippstadter Straße 122, 67663, Kaiserslautern, Germany</affiliation><affiliation>E-mail: Thomas.Roth-Berghofer@dfki.de</affiliation><role><roleTerm type="text">editor</roleTerm></role></name><genre type="book-series" displayLabel="Proceedings"></genre><originInfo><copyrightDate encoding="w3cdtf">2005</copyrightDate><issuance>monographic</issuance></originInfo><subject><genre>Book-Subject-Collection</genre><topic authority="SpringerSubjectCodes" authorityURI="SUCO11645">Computer Science</topic></subject><subject><genre>Book-Subject-Group</genre><topic authority="SpringerSubjectCodes" authorityURI="I">Computer Science</topic><topic authority="SpringerSubjectCodes" authorityURI="I21017">Artificial Intelligence (incl.
