متن کاملWarehousing Workflow Data: Challenges and Opportunities
Workflow management systems (WfMSs) are software platforms that allow the definition, execution, monitoring, and management of business processes. WfMSs log every event that occurs during process execution. Therefore, workflow logs include a significant amount of information that can be used to analyze process executions, understand the causes of highand low-quality process executions, and rate...
متن کاملTowards Workflow Benchmarking: Open Research Challenges
Workflow Management Systems (WfMS) provide platforms for delivering complex service-oriented applications that need to satisfy enterprise-grade quality of service requirements such as dependability and scalability. The performance of these applications largely depends on the performance of the WfMS supporting them. Comparing the performance of differentWfMSs and optimizing their configuration r...
