A Context-aware Workflow Framework and Modeling Language
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the pervasive and mobile computing environment, workflow and context information are closely linked, workflow management system have to interact with a variety of sensors. Therefore, the design and development context-aware workflow applications become complex and difficult to migrate to other platforms. In order to simplify the development of context-aware workflow applications and enhance its portability, a new context-aware workflow framework is proposed in this paper. This framework introduced into the context-aware middleware. Context-aware middleware shielding the various bottom sensors work details for the application and make the workflow applications focus on using high-level context, so as to realize the intelligent workflow management. This framework also introduced into ontology based modeling language for context-aware workflow. Case study shows that our proposed modeling language has good adaptability, and can be used to easily describe any sophisticated context-aware workflows. Copyright © 2014 IFSA Publishing, S. L.

Defining the resource perspective in the development of processes-aware information systems
Context: The resource perspective has impact on the performance of business processes. However, current Workflow Management Systems (WfMSs) provide disparate support to its implementation and business process modeling languages provide limited capabilities for its definition. Thus, it is difficult to specify requirements regarding this perspective and to select an appropriate WfMS to support th...

متن کاملTowards Context-aware Workflows
Context-aware applications adapt their behavior based on changes of the physical world, which is often obtained with a huge amount of sensors. Thus, the development of such applications is cumbersome, in particular the implementation of their often complex control flow. To ease the development of context-aware applications we present the concept of context-aware workflows. Thereafter we present...

The development of Web applications based on Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) is challenged by the lack of support to the specification of explicit context adaptation policies. As an answer to this issue, we present the Context Aware Workflow Execution framework (CAWE), which enriches SOA with (a) context-aware workflow management; (b) dialog management capabilities supporting the adaptatio...
