-
- I'm happy to read such questions, not just because I have an answer, but now I
- know there is someone else that have or had to do with this problems.
-
- So I want to write here what I have to do, hoping that someone can give me some
- suggestions.
-
- In the sphere of CSCW we are developing software for the communication between
- members of organizations.
-
- This kind of communication is ruled by Petri Nets, and stands on some theories
- of the language (Searle).
- If you know COORDINATOR you have an idea of this kind of communication.
-
- In real organizations, members have a role, manager, responsible of an area,
- ...slave... and so on.
-
- I'm trying to formalize concepts such as manager, responsibility, area of
- activity, sub-area, commitment, resource, ...
-
- Then I'll have to implement such model in an Object-Oriented Language based on
- Common Lisp.
-
- What I ask is:
-
- IS THERE SOMEONE IN THE WORLD DEALING WITH THE PROBLEM I DESCRIBED (HOW TO FIND
- A MODEL OF ORGANIZATION) THAT IS SO KIND TO EXCHANGE WORDS AND IDEAS WITH ME???
-
- Thank you in advance, Alessandro
