چکیده

The control-flow of business workflows is characterized by the strict execution order of the activities that is already defined at design time. This well-structured control-flow is for instance absolutely necessary if the workflows have to be performed fully automatically. However, this rigidity is not always appropriate for people-oriented workflows. Especially in scenarios where real world processes are only semi-structured humans should have more freedom to decide in which order they want to perform the activities. In this paper, we suggest an approach to design peopleoriented workflows via constraints to make them more flexible.

An approach for the high-level specification of QoS-aware grid workflows considering location affinity

Many important scientific and engineering problems may be solved by combining multiple applications in the form of a Grid workflow. We consider that for the wide acceptance of Grid technology it is important that the user has the possibility to express requirements on Quality of Service (QoS) at workflow specification time. However, most of the existing workflow languages lack constructs for Qo...

Applying Triple Graph Grammars For Pattern-Based Workflow Model Transformations

Workflow and business process modeling approaches have become essential for designing service collaborations when developing SOA-based systems. To derive actual executable business process descriptions from the high-level workflow models, model transformation techniques can be used. Various service composition and business process languages are available for describing the executable processes....

Integrity Maintenance in an Object-Oriented Database

We present an approach for integrating inter-object constraint maintenance seamlessly into an object-oriented database system. We develop a constraint compilation scheme that accepts declarative global specification of constraints, including relational integrity, referential integrity, and uniqueness requirements, and generates an efficient representation that permits localized processing. We d...
