The Temporal Dimension of Business Processes - Dealing with Time Constraints

Dealing with Changes of Time-Aware Processes

The proper handling of temporal process constraints is crucial in many application domains. Contemporary process-aware information systems (PAIS), however, lack a sophisticated support of time-aware processes. As a particular challenge, the execution of time-aware processes needs to be flexible as time can neither be slowed down nor stopped. Hence, it should be possible to dynamically adapt tim...

Dealing with Multiple Granularity of Time in Temporal Logic Programming

Chronolog(MC) is an extension of logic programming based on a clocked temporal logic (CT L), a linear-time temporal logic with multiple granularity of time. A Chronolog(MC) program consists of a clock deenition, a clock assignment and a program body, and each predicate symbol appearing in the program body is associated with a local clock through the clock deenition and assignment. This paper in...

Dealing with ambiguity in plan recognition under time constraints

Plan recognition has been widely used in agents that need to infer which plans are being executed or which activities are being performed by others. In many applications, reasoning and acting in response to plan recognition requires time. In such systems, plan recognition is expected to be made not only with precision, but also in a timely fashion. When recognition cannot be made in time, an ag...

the effect of task cognitive complexity and time limit on the performance of the learners with different proficiency levels in second language writing skill

this study investigated the effects of manipulating the cognitive complexity of tasks along +/- few elements and the time limits on l2 learners writing performance. to conduct the study, 60 iranian efl learners with two levels of proficiency, low and high intermediate, were selected and assigned to three groups based on the time devoted to task completion. the participants performed both a simp...
