Abstract: Escalations refer to the actions taken when workflow activities, which constitute business processes, miss their deadlines. Typically, escalations increase the cost of business processes due to the execution of additional activities, the compensation of finished activities, or the intervention of highly-paid workers. In this paper, we present on-going research addressing workflow escalations and the cost associated with them. Our goal is twofold: (a) minimize the number of escalations during... (Update)

.... are able to recognize that a workflow will probably not meet a deadline, and can then try to escalate the workflow execution [15]. However, the objective of cost time optimization is typically not addressed by WFMS, neither at the workflow specification nor at the...

...slack. Possible alternatives for computing these internal deadlines are the no slack and proportional slack policies described in [PR97b]. In the former case, the internal deadline is set to the duration of the activity. In the later case, the duration is extended by a...
