....editing and notification. Thus, members can see the changes being made by other users as they occur. However, Grove does not provide notification to users that are not in the session. 2. 4 Workflow The workflow concept has evolved from the notion of process in manufacturing and the office [12]. Such processes have existed since the industrial revolution and are products of a search to increase efficiency by concentrating on the routine aspects of work tasks. A workflow consists of activities involving the coordinated execution of multiple tasks performed by different processing ....

Such network centric systems are attractive for a growing number of applications in diverse domains including global information systems (e.g. WWW, the most prominent system of this kind) electronic commerce (e.g. micropayment systems, banking) workflow management [10], software engineering environments [4] collaborative groupware applications [17] and general large scale concurrent computations. A central problem in building such systems, which has only recently started to receive attention (see [2] is administrative autonomy, meaning that components are ....

....to be interpreted by humans, such as fill out form x or go to the movies. In this model, besides the type and flow of actions (task plan) there is little or no content to be exploited by the computer system. Workflow systems, software usage models, and some agent based systems adopt this model [19,48,49]. The proposed TDL does not fit into the models above. First, robotics like models, where tasks are automatically carried out by a computer system, are not adequate because the tasks being described here are user tasks. Second, workflow like models are not adequate because the role of the task ....

....represented for the task. The more certainty we have on the plan, the more structured is the domain. The task domains covered in typical workflow, robotics, and agent based systems are structured. In such domains, TDLs typically represent a plan as a (deterministic) graph or hierarchy of actions [14,19,31,39,49]. At the other end of the spectrum, automatic desktop assistants infer the intention of the user by applying Bayesian analysis to some observation of his actions [24] In such a domain, tasks have no associated plan: there are no assumptions about the rules governing the user actions. In between ....

Implementation of such planner can be found in the workflow management systems (Georgakopoulos [GH 95] and business process models (Holbein et al.

The objective is to regulate the interaction between the e services. WorkFlow (WF) is an appropriate technology for such a framework [1].

Here, we concentrate on the primary aspects of a process model [12] the control structures defining the way a WFMS would order and schedule workflow tasks. We do not cover other aspects like data dependencies, actors, or organizational models. Numerous workflow models have been developed, based ....

In spite of the success of some PSSs (especially workflow systems [23]) no single PSS provides all the needed facilities to support the entire process life cycle. The set of required capabilities may be built from scratch into a single new PSS (in a monolithic manner) but doing that is costly and less amenable to evolution, and hence the need for semantic ....

Our previous study [9] proposed a process view model that enhances the capability of process abstraction in conventional activity based process models [4]. A processview, i.e. a virtual process, is abstracted from an actual process. According to distinct organizational role s requirements, a process modeler can design various processviews, hence providing the appropriate process information to each participant. However, the preliminary ....

Its primary mission is to handle business processes. A business process is a set of one or more interconnected activities which collectively realize a business objective or policy goal, normally within the context of an organizational structure defining functional roles and relationships [29] ....

Addressing this broad and rather ambitious reach, a large number of workflow products, mainly workflow management systems (WFMS) are commercially available, which see a large variety of languages and concepts based on different paradigms (see e.g. [1, 4, 12, 19, 23, 28, 31, 30, 40, 47]) As current provisions are compared and as newer concepts and languages are embarked upon, it is striking how little, other than standards glossaries, is available for central reference. One of the reasons attributed to the lack of consensus of what constitutes a workflow specification is the ....

....the prototype will be enhanced to interpret base processes that are defined by using commercial products. 5. Related Work Workflow models, in which business processes are formally described to generate process definitions, are generally classified as communication based and activity based [3]. The former attempts to identify process objectives, while the latter focuses on identifying process structures. A survey [3] of commercial WfMSs revealed that most supported workflow models are activity based. The activity based approach is easily understandable when modeling business tasks and ....

The first three sections of this chapter are based on literature (among others [2, 31, 76, 81, 82, 103, 118, 135, 159, 161]) and several case studies that we did. 2.1 Workflows The following concepts are important for workflow modelling (see Figure 2.1) A business process is an ordered set of business activities. The goal of a business process is to deliver a certain requested service or product. For example, if ....

Transactional workflow models can be at a higher or lower level of abstraction than the workflow models we use [79] but usually they are at a lower level. For example, usually in a transactional workflows, an activity (task) can have several substates, including several end states, such as ....

A workflow management system (abbr, WfMS ) provides a model and tools for specification, analysis, and execution of workflows. Surveys of the area can be found in [21, 17, 3]. Scheduling of workflows is a problem of finding a correct execution sequence for the workflow tasks, i.e. an execution that obeys the constraints that embody the business logic of the workflow. Research on workflow scheduling has largely concentrated on temporal constraints, which specify ....
