Description
Summary:Exchange of documents as email attachments in collaborative work lacks support for keeping track of threads of performed activities, what often leads to email overload and strain. Proactive document email attachments linking the passive content and active services could build reproducibility in collaborative processes, even if workers may tend to exchange emails indiscriminately. The key role in achieving that play workflow patterns identified in the real-world organizations. A small and well defined set of doc- ument coordination patterns based on them is proposed in the paper. It provides building blocks for the migration path embedded in the document code, which interpreted by the specially designed smart email client (SEC) can support document steering. Owing to that an email system can provide a platform for document centric processing and can introduce self-organization in the dynamically set virtual organiza- tion using it. Proactive documents exchanged as standard MIME attachments enable any type of working content with reduced workload and improved work performance, without any substantial investment in the job resources already available in the workplace. Moreover, they enable smooth incorporation of the email based collaboration in solutions that push further the boundaries of building overall intelligence and enhanced cognition across the cloud-edge continuum.
