Three Good Reasons for Using a Petri-net-based Workflow Management System
نویسنده
چکیده
Currently, the Dutch Customs Department is building a nationwide information system to handle all kinds of declarations related to the import and export of goods. For this purpose the Petri-net-based Workflow Management System (WFMS) named COSA has been selected. During the selection process, it turned out that there are several reasons for insisting on a Petri-net-based WFMS. The three main reasons for selecting a Petri-net-based WFMS are discussed in this paper. In our opinion these reasons are also relevant for many other projects involved in the selection or implementation of a WFMS.
