They are primarily associated with business process coordination andinformation integration requirements. Then, main features, strengths and limitations ofcurrent academic proposals are briefly addressed. Finally, some of the reasons for theslow acceptance and modest penetration of these research results are highlighted. Thus,challenges and opportunities to be faced in order to alleviate the miscommunication ofthe academic and industrial worlds are pointed out. Fil: Henning, Gabriela.
