HiWorD: A Petri Net-Based Hierarchical Workflow Designer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Much work is being conducted in the area of business process modeling using workflow technology. HiWorD is a hierarchical workflow modeling prototype with simulation capability. It models business processes using Petri nets in a hierarchical manner and implements recovery transitions as a technique to recover from exceptions. The workflow hierarchy is created by refining places and transitions using predefined patterns. By using these patterns, it is proven that the resulting workflow will be sound.

Token-Controlled Place Refinement in Hierarchical Petri Nets with Application to Active Document Workflow
We propose extensions to predicate/transition nets to allow tokens to carry both data and control information, where such control can refine special “refinable place nodes” in the net. These formal extensions find use in active document workflow, in which documents themselves specify portions of the overall processing within a workflow net. Our approach enables the workflow designer to specify ...
متن کاملHierarchical Structuring of a Workflow Model in Petri-Net
In this paper, we introduce the way of deriving hierarchical structure of a workflow model represented in classical Petrinet, even for the cases with cycles, which allows handling a workflow model efficiently. More specifically, our method identifies any block structures as candidates for the subprocesses and represents them as a single block node in the upper layer of the hierarchical model. T...
متن کاملA Petri Net - based Model for Knowledge - based Workflows in Distributed Cancer Therapy
This paper describes a Petri Net-based model for workflow management in distributed cancer therapy, a domain which is characterized by the involvement of several geographically distributed departments and a long-term treatment. The approach uses hierarchical Petri-Nets; tokens, places and transitions are objects conform to the CORBA/IDL-model to facilitate implementation in a heterogeneous envi...
متن کاملModelling and Performance Analysis of Workflow Management Systems Using Timed Hierarchical Coloured Petri Nets
In this paper a modelling methodology for workflow management systems based on coloured Petri nets is proposed. Using an integration method, processes and resources are modelled at the same abstraction level. A process is decomposed into task structures, whilst human resources are considered at role level. Activity based costing is combined with classical temporal analysis of workflow. The suit...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation of Workflow Processes Using Multi-level Petri Nets
A method for modeling workflow processes using a Petri net based multilevel formalism is proposed, which yields modular and hierarchical descriptions of the organization, the processes, resource management, and user interactions. The models allow the synthesis of agent based software in which mobile agents guide the cases through the organization units; the software can be interactively execute...
