A Meta-Model of Business Interaction for Assisting Intelligent Workflow Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Business interaction is a significant aspect of intelligent workflow systems, which are envisaged to deal with dynamic and interorganisational environments. However, automating business interaction in an intelligent way is not an easy task. To address this issue, this paper presents an ontological approach for modelling business interaction. The developed meta-model can support the process of automating business interaction, as well as assist its automated analysis. The ontology’s development is described and its application is demonstrated through an example use case.

Resource Modeling in Workflow Applications
Collaborative applications such as workflow management systems separate between a process model and an organizational model. While the process modeling capabilities of current workflow management systems are at a high level, the organizational meta models provided by these systems are very often at a very elementary level. Moreover, most systems fail to provide means to integrate non-human acto...
متن کاملA Meta Level Architecture for Workflow Management
Current workflow management systems still lack some important features, esp. intelligent failure handling mechanisms. This is due to the static and only implicitly defined meta model of these systems. We argue that intelligent failure handling needs semantically enriched workflow models. We, therefore, propose a meta level architecture for WFMSs providing an explicit and dynamic meta model. Thi...
متن کاملAnalyzing the Resource Perspective of Workflow Management Systems: Using a Meta Model and Constraints
Workflow management systems support business processes and are driven by business processes models. These models cover different perspectives including the controlflow, resource, and data perspectives. Contemporary workflow management systems offer a wide variety of mechanisms to support the resource perspective. The resource perspective is essential for the applicability of workflow management...

Case handling is a new paradigm for supporting flexible and knowledge intensive business processes. It is strongly based on data as the typical product of these processes. Unlike workflow management, which uses predefined process control structures to determine what should be done during a workflow process, case handling focuses on what can be done to achieve a business goal. In case handling, ...
