An Approach for Maintaining Models of an E-Commerce Collaboration

Abstract

To keep an overview on complex E-Commerce collaborations several models are used to describe them. When models overlap in describing a collaboration, the overlapping information should not contradict. Models are of dierent nature and maintained by dierent people. Therefore, keeping model-overlap contradiction-free is challenging. In this paper we propose a novel approach for maintaining models representing an E-Commerce collaboration. Applying this approach supports avoiding contradictions in models during evolution of E-Commerce collaborations.
