Due to the multi-faceted perspectives of collaborative networks and the wide variety of complex aspects that need to be addressed, there is no single modeling formalism or theory that can properly cover all needed modeling aspects. Very often it is necessary to combine different modeling formalisms and/or theories in order to get a more holistic perspective of CNs.
Each modeling tool / system is usually developed to sufficiently cover certain aspects within its respective discipline(s). Therefore usually several independent modeling tools and/or systems are applied in research, to model different aspects of CNs. Nevertheless, while keeping their independence, some forms of interoperation / composition among these modeling tools and systems are necessary.
