Abstract
The coordination of interdependencies among activities in collaborative
environments is a very important and difficult task. In this paper we
present a set of coordination mechanisms for the specification and control
of interaction among collaborative activities. To model these mechanisms,
we use high level Petri nets, which have proven to be an adequate approach
to evaluate the behavior of a computer supported collaborative system
before its implementation.
