چکیده

New technologies are being introduced into our lives on a almost daily basis. Touch technology is a recent one which changes the way we interact with devices. It influences the work environment a user works in: Instead of only a desk with a PC, the environment is enriched with devices like a smartphone or tablet. For these new products the user experience is important, whereas in Workflow Management Systems this subject not received much attention. It would, however, be an interesting subject for Client Applications of Workflow Management Systems. This study shows what a Client Application for a Workflow Management System could look like integrating touch technology.

Multi-objective and Scalable Heuristic Algorithm for Workflow Task Scheduling in Utility Grids

 To use services transparently in a distributed environment, the Utility Grids develop a cyber-infrastructure. The parameters of the Quality of Service such as the allocation-cost and makespan have to be dealt with in order to schedule workflow application tasks in the Utility Grids. Optimization of both target parameters above is a challenge in a distributed environment and may conflict one an...

Towards a workflow management system for service oriented modules

With the emergence of service-oriented architectures (SOAs), workflow management systems are being used to create applications from service compositions. Because service compositions may extend across platforms, domains, and virtual organisations, classical implementations of workflow management systems must be extended to address interoperability and reliability. In particular, there is a need...

Flexibility for Distributed Workflows

This chapter shows how flexibility can be realized for distributed workflows. The capability to dynamically adapt workflow instances during runtime (e.g., to add, delete or move activities) constitutes a fundamental challenge for any workflow management system (WfMS). While there has been significant research on ad-hoc workflow changes and on related correctness issues, there exists only little...

Workflow Flexibility by Deviation by means of Constraint Satisfaction Problem Solving

This paper introduces a novel approach for flexible workflow management by applying constraint satisfaction problem solving. This enables us to support workflow deviations at runtime, react to upcoming events or unpredictable circumstances, but still support the user through worklist suggestions. The developed workflow engine is completely based on declarative workflow representations, whereas ...

An Adaptive Workflow Engine Based on Web Services and Agents

At present workflow management systems are widely used to manage business processes in an organization, while the workflow engine provides a runtime execution environment, manages the overall processing and execution of workflow instances. One of the major limitations of current workflow engine is the lack of flexibility to support adaptive environments. In this paper we propose an adaptive wor...
