The applications solve a specific business problem by providing a user with seamless interaction with remote information resources, remote application resources, and remote human resources The identities of the resources to be used are mostly unknown at the time that the application is developed The pattern of interaction (workflow) among the resources is a critical part of the application, but...

In this paper, we introduce the new workflow line system consisted of the location and image recording, which led to the acquisition of workflow information and the analysis display. From the results of workflow line investigation, we considered the anticipated effects and the problems on KAIZEN. Workflow line information included the location information and action contents information. These ...

Using two rice genotypes as a test system (OP1505 and OP1509), the aim of this study was to develop an agronomic workflow for Se biofortification through foliar fertilization (with sodium selenate selenite). During process, state culture (slope, surface drainage, water lines normalized differences vegetation index—NDVI), using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles synchronized by global positioning (GPS) fu...

A risk of domain-specific languages is that their constructs are too high-level, preventing good coverage of the domain. While such DSLs typically support very concise solutions to a set of problems, they are rendered useless as soon as variations of the problem have to be solved that the language does not support. A manifestation of this problem can be found in the context of workflow descript...

In several industry scenarios, it is often the case that an existing reference workflow has to be adapted according to specific context factors, which might even change at runtime. The adapted workflow instances virtually constitute process variants. In order to keep the efforts for systematic variant configuration and maintenance on a manageable level, recent work has proposed the use of conte...

In recent years, organisations have been undergoing a thorough transformation towards highly flexible and agile collaborations. Organisations are required to dynamically create and manage collaborative business processes to grasp market opportunities. Different from conventional business processes, a collaborative business process involves multiple parties and their business processes [1]. Thus...

Every time a workflow solution is conceived there is a large amount of functionality that is eventually reinvented and redeveloped from scratch. Workflow management systems from academia to the commercial arena exhibit a myriad of approaches having as much in common as in contrast with each other. Efforts in standardizing a workflow reference model and the gradual endorsement of those standards...

A pattern-based software engineering tool for constructing workflow based applications is described. The tool provides a novel way of composing applications executing over Grid resources. The tool provides a structured design approach, centered on the manipulation of patterns through pre-defined pattern operators. Patterns and operators are divided into two categories: structural and behavioura...
