Evaluating Workflow Management Systems

by Michael Berger, Ernst Ellmer, Gerald Quirchmayr, Alfred Zeitlinger , 1997
"... In this paper we describe a project focusing on the evaluation of workflow management systems for a large Austrian bank. In the first part we establish a catalogue of evaluation criteria. It summarizes the huge amount of criteria into smaller classes (criteria categories) and orders the classes in a ..."

Exception Handling in Workflow Management Systems

by Claus Hagen, Ieee Computer Society, Gustavo Alonso - IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering , 2000
"... AbstractÐFault tolerance is a key requirement in Process Support Systems (PSS), a class of distributed computing middleware encompassing applications such as workflow management systems and process centered software engineering environments. A PSS controls the flow of work between programs and users ..."

A taxonomy of workflow management systems for grid computing

by Jia Yu, Rajkumar Buyya , 2005
"... With the advent of Grid and application technologies, scientists and engineers are building more and more complex applications to manage and process large data sets, and execute scientific experiments on distributed resources. Such application scenarios require means for composing and executing comp ..."
