I'm happy to read such questions, not just because I have an answer, but now I
know there is someone else that have or had to do with this problems.

So I want to write here what I have to do, hoping that someone can give me some
suggestions.

In the sphere of CSCW we are developing software for the communication between
members of organizations.

This kind of communication is ruled by Petri Nets, and stands on some theories
of the language (Searle).
If you know COORDINATOR you have an idea of this kind of communication.

In real organizations, members have a role, manager, responsible of an area,
...slave... and so on.

I'm trying to formalize concepts such as manager, responsibility, area of
activity, sub-area, commitment, resource, ...

Then I'll have to implement such model in an Object-Oriented Language based on
Common Lisp.

What I ask is:

IS THERE SOMEONE IN THE WORLD DEALING WITH THE PROBLEM I DESCRIBED (HOW TO FIND
A MODEL OF ORGANIZATION) THAT IS SO KIND TO EXCHANGE WORDS AND IDEAS WITH ME???

Thank you in advance, Alessandro
