Abstract
Support for human-to-human interactions over a network is still insufficient, particularly for professional virtual communities (PVCs). Among other limitations, neither adaptation capabilities of humans, nor social aspects related to leverage are taken into account in existing models for collaboration processes in PVC. This paper presents a model for adaptive human collaboration. A key element of this model is the modeling of power during the adaptation of collaboration processes modeled as social protocols.
