“…For all instances we need adequate correctness criteria (see [28,32] for respective extensions of compliance and migration strategies). So far, ADEPT2 has been applied in several domains including healthcare, automotive development, construction engineering, logistics, and e-negotiation [1,2,33,34]. While for some applications the provided ADEPT2 clients were sufficient to adequately assist users in adapting their processes [34,1], in other cases specific client components were implemented based on the application programming interfaces offered by ADEPT2.…”

While for some applications the provided ADEPT2 clients were sufficient to adequately assist users in adapting their processes [34,1], in other cases specific client components were implemented based on the application programming interfaces offered by ADEPT2. AgentWork [33], for example, provides a rule-based planning component for the healthcare domain that automatically derives adaptations of patient treatment processes to be applied in a given context.…”

“…Here, users only have to approve the suggested instance changes, which are then automatically carried out by the system; i.e., ADEPT2 serves as engine to implement the changes. CONSENSUS [1], in turn, uses the existing ADEPT2 clients to realize the flexibility and dynamism needed to accommodate to the various contingencies and obstacles that can appear during e-negotiations. In all these case studies the provision of high-level change patterns and the change framework described were considered as strong points in favor of ADEPT2.…”

“…In many application domains process-aware information systems (PAIS) will be not accepted by users if rigidity comes with them [1][2][3][4]. Instead, it should be possible to quickly implement new processes, to enable on-the-fly adaptations of running ones, to defer decisions regarding the exact process logic to runtime, and to evolve implemented processes over time.…”

Abstract. Process-aware information systems (PAIS) must be able to deal with uncertainty, exceptional situations, and environmental changes. Needed business agility is often hindered by the lacking flexibility of existing PAIS. Once a process is implemented, its logic cannot be adapted or refined anymore. This often leads to rigid behavior or gaps between real-world processes and implemented ones. In response to this drawback, adaptive PAIS have emerged, which allow to dynamically adapt or evolve the structure of process models under execution. This paper deals with fundamental challenges related to structural process changes, discusses how existing approaches deal with them, and shows how the various problems have been exterminated in ADEPT2 change framework. We also survey existing approaches fostering flexible process support.

This paper comes back to the problem of coordination of cooperative activities with a Workflow management system. First, we describe the differences that we have noted between business processes and cooperative processes. Then we present a set of requirements for a Workflow management system that aims to support cooperative workflow, and among these requirements are high flexibility and dynamicity. Then we describe how this has been taken into account in the development of the Bonita workflow management system that proposes to remove the idea of process model to work only with process instances that can be derived from each others or that can be composed.

This thesis has been written during my work as a team member of the Department of Databases and Information Systems (DBIS) at the University of Ulm. The motivation for working on the project "Schema Evolution in Process Management Systems" stems from the fundamental approaches on e.g., process design, dynamic process changes, and distributed process execution already conducted within the ADEPT project as well as from experiences with many practical projects.First of all, I thank my supervisor Prof. Dr. Peter Dadam for his guidance and support throughout my whole "thesis process". The fruitful discussions with him exceedingly contributed to make this thesis a success. Especially his enormous knowledge on related work and his problem-oriented view ("What's the message?") saved me from missing the red line. Finally, he always motivated me in being able to do anything I want.Furthermore, I thank Prof. Dr. Franz Schweiggert who accepted to act as second referee. His comments on my work and the discussion with him were very important for my work and motivating for me. Special thanks go to Dr. Manfred Reichert. The numerous discussion with him always helped me in proceeding with the content of my work. It was a pleasure to work with him on our diverse publications. His indefatigable effort to improve the quality of publications is admirable. I also thank him for proofreading my thesis.I also want to thank the whole DBIS team for helping and motivating me during my whole time at the department. The friendly and collaborative atmosphere largely contributed to feel happy during working hours. Finally thanks go to all students who contributed to this work (especially Markus Lauer for the implementation of the proof-of-concept prototype, the fruitful discussion, and the proofreading of the algorithms).My best thanks go to my parents Evi and Hermann Rinderle, my brother Matthias, my sister Julia, and my partner Oliver. Their love and support have made this work possible.
