Temporal Consistency of View Based Interorganizational Workflows

چکیده
Interorganizational workflows are a major step in automating B2B electronic commerce and to support collaborations of organizations on the technical level. Process views are an important conceptual modelling approach for interorganizational workflows as they allow interaction and communication while internal and private parts of the process can be hidden. However, it essential to guarantee that an interorganizational workflow is free of conflicts and the overall quality assurances of the whole workflow can be achieved. This paper proposes an approach for checking temporal consistency of interorganizational workflows crossing boundaries of organizations.

Coordinating Interorganizational Workflows Based on Process-Views
In multi-enterprise cooperation, an enterprise must monitor the progress of private processes as well as those of the partners to streamline interorganizational workflows. In this work, a process-view model, which extends beyond the conventional activity-based process model, is applied to design workflows across multiple enterprises. A process-view is an abstraction of an implemented process. A...
متن کاملDuration Histograms for Workflow Systems
Web-based interorganizational workflows need efficient time management. Variations of activity durations and branching distributions on or-split nodes make it necessary that we treat time management in workflows in a probabilistic way. We introduce the notion of duration histograms for capturing the available temporal information about workflow execution, define the necessary operations for com...
متن کاملVerification of Itineraries for Mobile Agent Enabled Interorganizational Workflow
We apply mobile agents to synchronize workflows of different organizations resulting in an interorganizational workflow. This paper models agent enabled interorganizational workflows using Interorganizational Workflow Nets. This model provides a means to verify the correctness (and, so the viability) of the itineraries of agents used in enacting interorganizational workflows. We also outline an...
متن کاملSpecification of Interorganizational Workflows - A Comparison of Approaches
With the rise of the Web as the major platform for making data and services available for both, humans and applications, interorganizational workflows became a crucial issue. Several languages for the specification of interorganizational workflows have been already proposed, each of them having different origins and pursuing different goals for dealing with the unique characteristics of interor...
متن کاملInterorganizational Workflow Nets: a Petri Net Based Approach for Modelling and Analyzing Interorganizational Workflows
Interorganizational workflows represent a new technique that offers companies a solution for managing business processes that involve more than one organization. In this paper, an interorganizational workflow will be modelled using a special class of nested Petri nets, interorganizational workflow nets (IWF-nets). This approach will allow the specification of the local workflows in the organiza...
