Organizations increasingly define their software development projects as "virtual project teams", where project members from within the organization cooperate with outside experts and therefore build a "community", which in many cases operates as a highly distributed team. Process modeling, -composition and -configuration are substantial ingredients for team activities. This paper analyses the needs for process awareness for virtual teams and derives the requirements for location-transparent distributed and mobile collaboration. It describes the design of virtual project teams that contain mobile users, their artifacts, and processes. The paper distills a framework for process aware virtual project teams that goes beyond current technologies such as peer-to-peer, multiple servers and clients, as well as Workflow Management and Groupware systems.
