چکیده

Article history: Received 14 September 2010 Received in revised form 15 November 2010 Accepted 15 November 2010 Available online 24 November 2010 Effective methods of workflow scheduling can improve the performance of workflow systems. Based on the study of existing scheduling methods, a method of workflow scheduling, called phasedmethod, is proposed. This method is based on colored Petri nets. Activities of workflows are divided into several groups to be scheduled in different phases using this method. Details of the method are discussed. Experimental results show that the proposed method can deal with the uncertainties and the dynamic circumstances very well and a satisfactory balance can be achieved between static global optimization and dynamic local optimization. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

Modeling and Performance Analysis of Collaborative Workflow System Based on Extended Colored Stochastic Petri Nets ⋆

Based on the Extended Colored Stochastic Petri Nets (ECSPN), the workflow system was modeled and simulated. To improve described capacity of the traditional Petri nets, a model of the extended colored stochastic Petri nets is proposed, and then an instance is given to explain how to model workflow system with priority queuing and multi-instances. Through analysis of the simulation data of the m...

A timed colored Petri nets modeling for dynamic workflow in product development process

Product development process (PDP) is one of the most important business processes for enterprises but it has difficulty in workflow management because of the uncertain and dynamic characteristics. Thus, even though there have been many workflow modeling and management methods, they have limitations to deal with the special characteristics of PDP. We define PWF-nets based on timed colored Petri ...
