Workflow patterns have been recognized as the theoretical basis to modeling recurring problems in workflow systems. A form of workflow patterns, known as the resource patterns, characterise the behaviour of resources in workflow systems. Despite the fact that many resource patterns have been discovered, people still preclude them from many workflow system implementations. One of reasons could b...

[email protected] Abstract This article presents the manual and collaborative construction of an ontology design pattern (a generic ontology), named OntoCLUVA, of climate change (CC) field. This pattern is built for the needs of the construction of climate change ontologies. We used this pattern for a knowledge management system (KMS) of climate change. It will allow to each module of this K...

Scientific workflows are becoming increasingly important as a vehicle for enabling science at a large scale. Lately, many Workflow Management Systems (WfMSs) have been introduced in order to support the needs of several scientific fields, such as bioinformatics and cheminformatics. However, no platform is practically capable to address the computational power and storage capacity provided by pr...

Knowledge management is a relatively young discipline. Nevertheless, it has accumulated a valuable body of knowledge in the structuring of knowledge and in the design of socio-technical knowledge management systems. However, concepts to describe common, recurring patterns of how to describe, structure, interrelate, group, or manage knowledge elements are still missing. In this article, we intro...
