Modeling Workflow Patterns from First Principles
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a small set of parameterized abstract models for workflow patterns, starting from first principles for sequential and distributed control. Appropriate instantiations yield the 43 workflow patterns that have been listed recently by the Business Process Modeling Center. The resulting structural classification of those patterns into eight basic categories, four for sequential and four for parallel workflows, provides a semantical foundation for a rational evaluation of workflow patterns.

Research Paper: A Pattern-based Analysis of Clinical Computer-interpretable Guideline Modeling Languages
OBJECTIVES Languages used to specify computer-interpretable guidelines (CIGs) differ in their approaches to addressing particular modeling challenges. The main goals of this article are: (1) to examine the expressive power of CIG modeling languages, and (2) to define the differences, from the control-flow perspective, between process languages in workflow management systems and modeling languag...
متن کاملA Transactional Metamodel For Business Process Modeling With Support To Business Process Patterns
Currently, there are several metamodels for business process and workflow process modeling. However, the limitations of these metamodels are twofold: First, the use of organizational structure aspects is limited and second they don’t support business (sub)process patterns based on organizational structure aspects. These limitations may restrict the accuracy, efficiency, and productivity of the ...

This paper contributes to address an important issue in Workflow mining: organizational patterns mining issue. First, it reveals a critical and comparative study of three representative Workflow mining systems (InWolve, WorkflowMiner and ProM). The major drawback of these systems is their inability to deal with organizational patterns mining. This work considers organizational patterns as being...
متن کاملTowards an Intelligent Workflow Designer based on the Reuse of Workflow Patterns
In order to perform process-aware information systems we need sophisticated methods and concepts for designing and modeling processes. Recently, research on workflow patterns has emerged in order to increase the reuse of recurring workflow structures. However, current workflow modeling tools do not provide functionalities that enable users to define, query, and reuse workflow patterns properly....
متن کاملUse Of Workflow-Patterns For Process Modeling In The Building Industry
In contrast to the predefined and static processes in most industries, the design and construction processes in the building industry are extremely dynamic. Technical conflicts and modified design goals will lead to ad-hoc changes within the workflow. They are no exception but usual. Therefore, common principles must be established throughout the construction industry, that allow for flexibly c...
