Support for End-User Specification of Work Coordination in Workflow Systems

چکیده
Workflow systems are a common example of end-user programming, in the form of work process modelling, enactment and evolution. Example applications of workflow systems include office automation, software process modelling and business process codification. We describe a workflow system which provides novel end-user programming support for the coordinated use of workflow models, communication and collaboration between multiple people, and the tools being used to perform work. We illustrate the utility of these work coordination mechanisms and outline our future research directions in this area.

Supporting Large–scale End User Specification of Workflows, Work Coordination and Tool Integration
Workflow Management Systems are a common example of an end user development system, in that they support end user specification of work process models, end user enactment (running) of these models, and end user evolution of workflows. Example applications of Workflow Management Systems include office automation, software process modelling and business process codification. We describe a novel w...

We introduce the ActivityFlow specification language for flexible specification, composition, and coordination of workflow activities. The most interesting features of the ActivityFlow specification language include: (1) a collection of specification mechanisms, allowing workflow designers to use a uniform workflow specification interface to describe different types (i.e., adhoc, administrative...

متن کاملModeling of the Outpatient Prescribing Process in Iran: A Gateway toward Electronic Prescribing System
Implementation of electronic prescribing system can overcome many problems of the paper prescribing system, and provide numerous opportunities of more effective and advantageous prescribing. Successful implementation of such a system requires complete and deep understanding of work content, human force, and workflow of paper prescribing. The current study was designed in order to model the curr...
