From Software Process to Workflow Process: the Workflow Lifecycle
نویسندگان
چکیده
Despite the great effort devoted to the development of Workflow models and Workflow Management Systems during the last decade, a strong foundation about workflow development is still to come. Assuming that a workflow is a complex software product, in this paper we argue that the principles and techniques of software development — in particular, methodological concerns— can help in the development of high quality workflows. A unified view of the Workflow development process — the Workflow Lifecycle— is presented. Finally, we mention some topics coming from the Software Engineering field that may play a key role in the improvement of the Workflow Process.

متن کاملA Novel Assisted History Matching Workflow and its Application in a Full Field Reservoir Simulation Model
The significant increase in using reservoir simulation models poses significant challenges in the design and calibration of models. Moreover, conventional model calibration, history matching, is usually performed using a trial and error process of adjusting model parameters until a satisfactory match is obtained. In addition, history matching is an inverse problem, and hence it may have non-uni...
