Companies increasingly adopt process-aware information systems (PAISs), which offer promising perspectives for more flexible enterprise computing. The emergence of different process support paradigms and the lack of methods for comparing existing approaches enabling PAIS changes have made the selection of adequate process management technology difficult. This paper suggests a set of 18 change patterns and 7 change support features to foster the systematic comparison of existing process management technology in respect to process change support. While the proposed patterns are all based on empirical evidence from several large case studies, the suggested change support features constitute typical functionalities provided by flexible PAISs. Based on the proposed change patterns and features, we provide a detailed analysis and evaluation of selected approaches from both academia and industry. The presented work will not only facilitate the selection of technologies for realizing flexible PAISs, but can also be used as a reference for implementing flexible PAISs.

“…Der Flexibilitäts-Begriff befindet sich in der WorkflowForschung derzeit in der Diskussion; es scheint jedoch anerkannt zu sein, daß dynamische Modifikationen, d.h., die Möglichkeit zur Veränderung aktiver Workflow-Instanzen zur Laufzeit, um auf veränderte Umweltbedingungen flexible reagieren zu können, eine wichtige Form von Flexibilität darstellt [20,10,30]. Beispiele für solche Veränderungen sind etwa veränderte Marktsituationen oder neue gesetzliche Regelungen, die Auswirkungen auf die Ablauforganisation besitzen.…”

Zusammenfassung. Dieser Beitrag enthält die wesentlichen konzeptionellenÜberlegungen zur Entwicklung eines flexiblen Workflow-Management-Systems. Ausgehend von einer Diskussion möglicher Modellierungsalternativen wird unter Verwendung objektorientierter Modellierungstechniken ein Workflow-Meta-Schema entwickelt, das die relevanten Entitäten klassifiziert und ihre Beziehungen abbildet. Anhand eines Beispiels werden die getroffenen Entwurfentscheidungen ausführlich begründet. Schließlich werden Zustände und Zustandsübergänge von Workflow-Instanzen beschrieben, und es wird diskutiert, wie dynamische Verän-derungen von Workflows zur Laufzeit durchgeführt werden können, um laufende Workflows dynamisch an veränderte Umweltbedingungen anzupassen.Abstract. This contribution discusses the conceptual design of a flexible workflow management system. After discussing a set of modeling alternatives, a workflow meta schema is developed, using object oriented design principles. We describe how workflows are modelled and executed. Key design decisions are validated using a sample workflow model and a sample workflow instance based on that model. We propose a state transition diagram for workflow instances, and we discuss how dynamic modifications of workflow models can be conducted to adapt running workflow instances to changes in the workflow environment.

Clinical Workflows — The Killer Application for Process-oriented Information Systems?

There is an increasing interest in changing information systems to support business processes in a more direct way. Workflow technology is a very interesting candidate to achieve this goal. Hence the important question arises, how far do we get using this technology. Is its functionality powerful enough to support a wide range of applications or is it only suitable for rather simple ones? And, if the latter is the case, are the missing functions of the "just to do" type or are more fundamental issues addressed? The paper uses the clinical domain to motivate and to elaborate the functionality needed to adequately support an advanced application environment. It shows that workflow technology is still lacking important features to serve this domain. The paper surveys the state of the art and it presents solutions for some issues based on the concepts elaborated in the ADEPT project.
