Evaluation of Workflow Management Systems using Meta Models

چکیده
The analysis of workflow meta models aims at a problem that frequently occurs during the selection of a workflow management system – evaluating the capabilities of a modeling method. In this paper a meta model approach for the evaluation of different workflow management systems is introduced. After a comparison of the meta models of current workflow management systems a procedure model for the evaluation process is specified. An organizational reference model is introduced, which helps users in specifying their requirements for a workflow management system. A comparison of scoring model-and meta model-based evaluation processes concludes this paper.

متن کاملEvaluation of Workflow Management Systems - A Meta Model Approach
The automated enactment of processes through the use of workflow management systems enables the transfer of control flow from application systems to workflow management systems. By now a large number of different systems, that follow different interpretations of the workflow paradigm, are available. This leads to the problem of selecting the appropriate workflow management system for a given si...
متن کاملAnalyzing the Resource Perspective of Workflow Management Systems: Using a Meta Model and Constraints
Workflow management systems support business processes and are driven by business processes models. These models cover different perspectives including the controlflow, resource, and data perspectives. Contemporary workflow management systems offer a wide variety of mechanisms to support the resource perspective. The resource perspective is essential for the applicability of workflow management...
متن کاملA Meta Level Architecture for Workflow Management
Current workflow management systems still lack some important features, esp. intelligent failure handling mechanisms. This is due to the static and only implicitly defined meta model of these systems. We argue that intelligent failure handling needs semantically enriched workflow models. We, therefore, propose a meta level architecture for WFMSs providing an explicit and dynamic meta model. Thi...
متن کاملResource Modeling in Workflow Applications
Collaborative applications such as workflow management systems separate between a process model and an organizational model. While the process modeling capabilities of current workflow management systems are at a high level, the organizational meta models provided by these systems are very often at a very elementary level. Moreover, most systems fail to provide means to integrate non-human acto...
