Efficient Distributed Control of Enterprise-Wide and Cross-Enterprise Workflows
نویسندگان
چکیده
In large workflow management systems (WfMS), it is particularly important to control workflows (WF) in an efficient manner. A very critical factor within this context is the resulting communication overhead. For this reason we have developed an approach for distributed WF control, which tries to keep the communication overhead low. In this paper, this approach is described and examined by means of a simulation.

Enterprise-Wide and Cross-Enterprise Workflow-Management: Challenges and Research Issues for Adaptive Workflows
The paper discusses important challenges and research issues for adaptive workflow management systems (WfMS), especially if they shall be applied to enterprise-wide applications. It shows that an adaptive WfMS must provide support for different kinds of (dynamic) workflow (WF) changes in order to be applicable to a broader spectrum of processes. In this context, both, requirements for WF schema...
متن کاملAutomatic Workflow Generation and Modification by Enterprise Ontologies and Documents
This article presents a novel method and development paradigm that proposes a general template for an enterprise information structure and allows for the automatic generation and modification of enterprise workflows. This dynamically integrated workflow development approach utilises a conceptual ontology of domain processes and tasks, enterprise charts, and enterprise entities. It also suggests...

متن کاملDefining Flexible Workflow Execution Behaviors
In this paper, we focus on the definition and adaptation of the execution behavior of a task in order to support flexible workflows in the presence of distributed workflow enactment. We argue that an adequate behavior definition is the basis for both, modeling less-restrictive workflows in advance as well as supporting dynamic workflow changes. We show how different control flow dependency type...
