Integrating Cooperation Systems: An Event-Based Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of today’s most challenging problems in office automation is the integration of Workflow Management Systems (WFMS) into legacy systems and their combination with other cooperative applications. For the integration of legacy systems the WFMS provides the central "control flow component" which calls a program to be executed in order to process single atomic activities from the point of view of the WFMS and waits for their termination. This is disadvantageous if the called application is complex and longlasting, because its inner states cannot be used to control the calling workflow. Workgroup applications such as group decision support systems (GDSS) do often have these properties. This paper discusses problems of the tight integration of non-workflow sessions into workflows and proposes a solution using an event based approach.

Using Interval Petri Nets and Timed Automata for Diagnosis of Discrete Event Systems (DES)
A discrete event system (DES) is a dynamic system that evolves in accordance with the abrupt occurrence, at possibly unknown irregular intervals, of physical events. Because of the special nature of these systems, different tools are currently used for their analysis, design and modeling. The main focus of this paper is the presentation of a new modeling approach of Discrete Event Systems. The ...

متن کاملDeveloping a conceptual model based upon the Latin Hypercube Sampling for integrating OHS into project risk evaluation
Abstract Project management in construction industry, in many cases, is imperfect with respect to the integration of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) risks. This imperfection exhibits itself as complications affecting the riskiness of industrial procedures and is illustrated usually by poor awareness of OHS within project teams. Difficulties on OHS regularly came about in the construction i...
متن کاملOptimal design of supply chain network under uncertainty environment using hybrid analytical and simulation modeling approach
Models that aim to optimize the design of supply chain networks have gained more interest in the supply chain literature. Mixed-integer linear programming and discrete-event simulation are widely used for such an optimization problem. We present a hybrid approach to support decisions for supply chain network design using a combination of analytical and discrete-event simulation models. The prop...
