....workflow specification languages based upon different paradigms. In fact, each commercial Workflow Management System implements its own specification language, with little effort being done to provide some degree of uniformity between products. In this respect, the Workflow Management Coalition [5] has defined a set of glossaries and notations that encompass some of the constructs used in existing workflow specification languages. Unfortunately, this standardisation effort has not yet led to a standard language for process modelling, which could be applied for the specification of control ....

....presenting an input to the other organization s workflow, awaiting the generation of an output, and proceeding with the task at hand using that output. This paradigm is essentially the Nested Subprocesses Model, the second interoperability scenario identified by the Workflow Management Coalition [8]. Naturally, our work also applies to modular workflows within one organization. Take as example the car dealership. The car dealership s workflow is initiated by a customer dropping off a broken car. In case the car dealership can repair the car, that s what they do; otherwise the problem is ....

....as the current state of the art in composition mechanisms. Workflow management sys tems (WfMC) evolved to deal with manufacturing and office processes. They typically identify concepts of tasks (activities) rules and procedures. They implement and execute tasks using heterogeneous applications [10,4,3]. Recently, workflow technology has been used to compose heterogeneous applications in order to build a new one (called global application in the following) 9,7,6] The approach is based on the two level programming paradigm: existing applications provide the core functionality and the ....

....Current process definition languages are quite limited in expressing complex dependencies and conditions when starting an activity. They allow activities to be executed in sequence or in parallel. At best, they admit some simple 4 condition expressions such as AND, OR jointing and splitting ones [10,9,6]. How to express the potential complex relationships between the set of constituent applications One possible solution is to extend process definition languages. In this case, workflow models will be more difficult to understand, and the goal of a high level and abstract workflow model will be ....

....workflow and internet technology. Their approach supposes a centralized architecture with an XML mediator and exchanging instance based XML messages between clients and servers in the organizations. Referring to the Workflow Reference Model Diagram defined by the Workflow Management Coalition [25], they aim at making the interfaces 2 (to the clients) 3 (to the applications) and 4 (to other workflow systems) uniform and at hiding any details regarding interoperability across system platforms within one component. Similarly to [2] they assume workflow servers within the organizations to ....

....system [Lee98] Cross organizational workflow management. The developments in CrossFlow are related to standardization efforts in the development of advanced workflow support. Basic interoperability between workflow management systems has been addressed by the Workflow Management Coalition [WFM96], but realistic virtual enterprise settings require more than this. The Simple Workflow Access Protocol [Swen98] addresses the same issue, and is currently being integrated in the WfMC s framework as the XML binding of interface 4. These interfaces help cross WFMS vendor boundaries, but they do ....

The focus of the Opera project was to generalize existing concepts and ideas of workflow management systems [57], or process centered software engineering environments, by developing a process modeling language, called OCR (Opera Canonical Representation) and a process support kernel (the Opera system) with emphasis on quality aspects of distributed computing 1 . These quality improvements involve: ....

In this respect, the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) [7] has defined a set of glossaries and notations that encompass many of the concepts and constructs provided by existing workflow specification languages.

....of the specifications, in terms of achieving a desired goal, and testing about consequences of modifications in the workflow descriptions. 1 Introduction and Motivation A workflow (WF) is a process which executes various cooperative and coordinated activities in order to achieve a desired goal [22]. Workflow Management Systems (WFMS) provide tools for modeling, executing and monitoring workflows [27, 40] and they need well defined correctness reliability criteria [1, 17, 44] and the ability to adapt to changes in a flexible manner. Recent works have addressed several of these issues [20, ....

The set of propositions in the activities domain description and the set of rules in the control module provide enough flexibilities for specifying workflows (as prescribed by [22]: sequencing ; AND OR splits and joins; iteration nesting) Figure 2 illustrates a case of AND join in context of Example 2 (if a section is full, and both the department head and the particular course instructor decide if the space should be waived, the two activities can be executed ....

....(time, budget) with execution of a task by an agent. Since typically agents cannot be shared and costs are not limitless, scheduling of a workflow execution involves decisions as to which resources to use and when. Although resource management has been recognized as an important aspect of a WfMS [12, 2, 36], most of the work has focused on modeling the various resources [39, 14, 22] with no or little attention devoted to scheduling under the constraints associated with such resources. In this paper, we present a framework for workflows whose correctness is specified in terms of a set of resource ....

However, most of the work in this area have focused on modeling of resources with little attention devoted to scheduling.
