Abstract

Cooperative work, teamwork or networking of individuals and collective-labors have become the key elements in modern organizations. These new forms of work organization have favored the birth of Computer-Supported Cooperative Work tools (CSCW), who study the individual mechanisms as well as the group-work collectives and then research how to assemble and cooperate many actors with various skills and different prerequisites. However, despite the enormous benefits of CSCW, few of these ones focus on the assessment aspect. Thus, this paper proposes a generic approach which combines Workflow Man-agement Systems (WfMS) with generic design patterns in order to generate a model for the management and specifically for the assessment of cooperative processes and their final rendering.
