Workflow Management and Causality Trees1
نویسنده
چکیده
The management of workflows by computational means aims at maximizing efficiency, security and transparency of work. Therefore existing approaches concentrate on specific activities of workflows such as communication or processes. The WAM workflow management system integrates the main paradigms of process-based and communicationbased workflow management and intends to support all of the activities in a workflow. It features the special concept of causality trees for managing these activities within a workflow. Causality trees give a better overview of work in the workflow and allow intervention by management activities in exceptional situations.

Product Data Management, the ASP (application service provider) model of e-business, and other information enterprises involve complex database-driven processes that change frequently. Workflow management for these enterprises requires analysis of the causality of updates on the control logic of the processes and the semantics of the databases involved. Previous workflow analysis tends to focus...

Workflow concepts are well suited for scenarios where many distributed entities work collaboratively together to achieve a common goal. Today, workflows are mostly used as computerized model for business processes executed in instances in commercial Workflow Management Systems. However, there are many other application domains where computersupported cooperative work can be captured and organiz...
متن کاملExterminating the Dynamic Change Bug: A Concrete Approach to Support Workflow Change
Adaptability has become one of the major research topics in the area of workflow management. Today’s workflow management systems have problems dealing with both ad-hoc changes and evolutionary changes. As a result, the workflow management system is not used to support dynamically changing workflow processes or the workflow process is supported in a rigid manner, i.e., changes are not allowed or...
متن کاملSpecification of Workflow Processes Using the Action Description Language
We propose the use of the action description language C to formally specify workf]ow l processes. The Workf]ow Management Coalition (WfMC) describes a set of all possible transitions among the activities in a workflow. We show how these transitions can be specified within the language of C. CCALC, the causal calculator, is used to run the examples and to generate the execution plans. In additio...
متن کاملConcept of the exception handling system for manufacturing business processes
Business processes managed by information systems rarely operate according to the pre defined scenario. Exceptions to the pre defined workflows occur frequently. This especially applies to the production processes, which are very complex and require a constant human involvement. Workflow management systems should be capable of responding adequately to the exceptions caused by the process enviro...
