In the pervasive and mobile computing environment, workflow and context information are closely linked, workflow management system have to interact with a variety of sensors. Therefore, the design and development context-aware workflow applications become complex and difficult to migrate to other platforms. In order to simplify the development of context-aware workflow applications and enhance ...

Grid computing is becoming a mainstream technology for sharing large-scale resources, accomplishing collaborative tasks and integrating distributed systems. With the development of the Grid technology, the Grid will provide the fundamental infrastructure not only for e-Science but also for e-Business, e-Government and e-Life. The workflow management system in the Grid is important to support su...

Agent based workflow systems are being discussed by many researchers for a long time. In this paper we present a new collaborative approach for workflow systems. Agents collaborate by forming social network such as societies. Various kinds of societies can exist and that facilitates cooperation and a communal effort towards group oriented problem solving. This framework would help us study the ...

Workflow is important. It’s a valuable technology. It is also a discipline, practice, and concept. Like knowledge management, all types of vendors claim that their product or service is “workflow” because it’s so important. It has taken the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) some five years of constant collaboration and education to achieve a common appreciation of what workflow really is, an...

Meta-Languages for the definition of processes serve several purposes. They can be employed as an integration platform for the exchange of process models that are specified in proprietary languages, their expressiveness can serve as a benchmark for the selection of a application specific modeling language and they can be used for the application-independent specification of process models that ...

It has been quite an interesting year for those monitoring the activities of the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC). This past year saw the release of Version 1.1 of the Wf-XML interoperability binding, an XML-based standard facilitating consistent data transfer between workflow engines, after substantial collaborative testing and discussion. The WfMC and Business Process Management Initi ati...

Inter-organizational workflows play an important role in supply chain management. The deployment of correctly designed workflow models helps avoid higher costs of breakdown, debugging, and fixing during runtime. The issue of workflow verification is even more critical in supply chain management as its workflow is comprised of a global workflow and the private workflows of all organizations invo...

Both eLearning and Workflow Management Systems are widely used today to support Content Management. Workflow Management is designed to organise office processes in as optimal a way as possible by strictly structuring work, while eLearning enables a very flexible approach to the learning of new skills or information. In this paper, we suggest the integration of eLearning into Workflow Management...

Abstract The paper gives a brief introduction about the workflow management platform, Flowable, and how it is used for textual-data management. It relatively new with its first release on 13 October, 2016. Despite short time market, seems to be quickly well-noticed 4.6 thousand stars GitHub at moment. focus of our project build platform text analysis large scale by including many different reso...

The support of process enactment through the use of workflow management systems has gained considerable attention within the last few years. We develop a classification framework consisting of three different strategies for the use of workflow management systems and outline how these scenarios can be applied in practice. Following the definition of relevant terms in the we identify coordination...
