<p class=MsoNormal>Dear colleague,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Collaborative modeling is gaining attention in both academia
and practice. The COllaborative Modeling Architecture (COMA) Version 4.0 is
now available online for free. It includes a computer-based tool and a method
for business process modeling.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>COMA turns participants of group modeling sessions into
valuable partners in modeling.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The new version is based on MS Visio 2007 and meets the
needs of many facilitators who want a professional and established drawing tool
that comes with stencils for many contemporary diagram types.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Maybe summer is a good opportunity to check it out?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Take a look at <a href="http://www.coma.nu">http://www.coma.nu</a><o:p></o:p></p>
