What can a classification of dependencies be used for? • Find out which dependencies exist (the classification shows the questions to ask) • e.g. Objects-task in the Extended Enterprise: resource exchange -> task? -> other objects (needed/enhancing/prohibiting) • Find out how dependencies can be changed (BPR/Patterns) • 3. Find out where coordination is needed (legitimization/prioritization) EE 1:1 Simple 1:n Adv 1:n Chains Use?
Conclusions There are two basic types of Business-to-Business integration. Still work needed to complete the generic classification, and to test and validate the classification. Such a classification could be useful if methodologies and tools are available that encompass the classification. EE 1:1 Simple 1:n Adv 1:n Chains Use? 17/17
