"Intelligent" Tools for Workflow Process Redesign: A Research Agenda
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although much attention is being paid to business processes during the past decades, the design of business processes and particularly workflow processes is still more art than science. In this workshop paper, we present our view on modeling methods for workflow processes and introduce our research aiming for the development of an “intelligent” software tool for workflow process redesign. This tool uses two approaches to redesign workflows: an evolutionary approach, focussing on local updates to a given process, and a revolutionary approach, starting with a clean-sheet of paper.

Experimental Assessment of a Process-Workflow Redesign Agent
Today, a second generation of computer-based reengineering tools employ knowledge systems technology to automate and support key, intellectual activities required for effective process-workflow redesign. But a central question remains as to the effectiveness of redesign through such knowledge systems. The research described in this paper is focused on testing the effectiveness of knowledge-base...

IT enabled organizations strive for overall improvement in performance with the use of tools capable of forecasting the stability and growth as well as failure. This paper contributes by introducing a technique and a model in Business process reengineering with Theory of constraints using dynamic workflow system enhanced with artificial intelligent ‘agents’ to observe the impact of flexibility ...
متن کاملAn Intelligent Agent for Web-based Process Redesign
Process redesign is an expensive, time consuming and labor-intensive activity. Analysis of the redesign process indicates the "first generation" computer-based tools are inadequate for redesign today. Knowledge-based systems and intelligent agents have the ability to address the key, intellectual activities required for effective process redesign. An intelligent redesign agent called KOPeR is d...

Workflow management systems can serve as the basis for collaborative computing, as evidenced by their growing popularity. This paper describes current research effor...
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....
