Abstract
A computer-implemented method or computer system develops a process specification for a collaborative process involving distributed computer-based participant systems exchanging messages through an asynchronous messaging network. In operation, a computer retrieves, from a first computer system, information on process states and process state transitions in relation to each participant system. Information on collaboration states and collaboration state transitions of the process are stored in a second computer system and used to generate information on dead-end collaboration states.
