Gravity : Collaborative Business Process Modelling within Google. This blog is co-authored by Soeren Balko Alexander Dreiling Kathrin Fleischmann Gravity is a prototype developed by SAP Research in Brisbane, Australia and SAP NetWeaver Development providing real-time, cloud-based collaborative business process modelling within Google Wave. Google Wave is Google's new real-time collaboration platform that combines features of e-mail, social networking, wikis and instant messaging in one integrated browser-based client. In the demo we see how Gravity can be used to facilitate the development of high level process descriptions for two merging companies, BCD South Bank and FH Insurance.
The demo shows how new technology can be systematically leveraged in order to facilitate what Business Process Management is really about: business user collaboration within and across departments of one or more organisations.

It's important to understand the significance of these three layers. Figure 1-2. Waves Wiki. The Complete Guide to Google Wave: How to Use Google Wave.
