Abstract
Interorganizational workflows are a major step in automating B2B electronic commerce and to support collaborations of organizations on the technical level. Process views are an important conceptual modelling approach for interorganizational workflows as they allow interaction and communication while internal and private parts of the process can be hidden. However, it is essential to guarantee that an interorganizational workflow is free of conflicts and the overall quality assurances of the whole workflow can be achieved. This paper proposes an approach for checking temporal consistency of interorganizational workflows crossing boundaries of organizations.
