contents In the rapidly evolving digital business landscape, organizations increasingly need to collaborate across boundaries to achieve complex business objectives, requiring both efficient process coordination and flexible decision-making capabilities. Traditional collaboration approaches face significant challenges in transparency, trust, and decision flexibility, while existing blockchain-based solutions primarily focus on process execution without addressing the integrated decision-making needs of collaborative enterprises. This paper proposes BlockCollab, a novel model-driven framework that seamlessly integrates Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) with Decision Model and Notation (DMN) to standardize and implement collaborative business processes and decisions on permissioned blockchain platforms. Our approach automatically translates integrated BPMN-DMN models into smart contracts(SCs) compatible with Hyperledger Fabric, enabling privacy-aware multi-organizational process execution through blockchain-based Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC). The framework introduces three key innovations: (1) a standardized method for modeling collaborative processes and decisions using integrated BPMN-DMN model, (2) an automated SC generator that preserves both process logic and decision rules while maintaining privacy constraints, and (3) a hybrid on-chain/off-chain execution environment that optimizes collaborative workflows through secure data transfer and external system integration. Experimental evaluation across 11 real-world collaboration scenarios demonstrates that our approach achieves 100\% accuracy in process execution. Furthermore, an analysis of various execution processes highlights the strong practical applicability and reliability of our approach. The proposed framework includes an open-source third-party collaboration platform based on blockchain.
