N2 - The question of how a service consumer and a service provider should
collaborate with each other in a business-to-business (B2B) setting is an ongoing
research issue. The concept of electronic Sourcing (eSourcing) has been proposed
as an integral concept with the EU research project CrossWork. The properties of
eSourcing are explored, however, the question arises how a service consumer and
a provider need to interact with each other during setup time for establishing an
eSourcing configuration? The concept of eSourcing offers more flexibility than
other approaches in that respect. Thus, this paper investigates the characteristics
of interaction between a service consumer and provider during setup time for
establishing an enactable B2B collaboration. These characteristics are employed
to discover interaction patterns in a dop-down way that are exemplified for the
concept of eSourcing. As such, the discovered patterns form the basis for the
design of a reference architecture that serves as a foundation for the design of
e-collaboration setup systems.
