“…[9] proposes a build time component that takes a control flow model and temporal information about activity duration and time constraints as input, and calculates thresholds for each activity in the process. The calculation of thresholds is frequently rooted in techniques based on temporal constraint networks to model and verify temporal information [12,19], others utilize project planning methods [13,11,19]. All these techniques apply variants of interval-timed graph-based models, which can also be used to calculate schedules for workflow execution.…”

Workflow time management deals with the calculation of temporal thresholds for process activities, which allows forecasts about looming deadline violations. We present a novel approach to transform a web service orchestration into a time-aware orchestration, that contains temporal assessment and intervention logic. During process execution intervention strategies are triggered pro-actively to speed up a late process and to avoid upcoming violations of temporal constraints.

“…An example is the HOST (Healthcare Open System and Trails) project. 20 In this project, the temporal reasoner called Tachyon is developed for time management in health-care processes. However, this work is limited to health-care processes only and a temporal model upon which temporal reasoning is based is very simple for example it does not include decision nodes, the concept of a workflow instance nor modeling and verification of other temporal constraints apart from duration of individual tasks.…”

Business environments have become exceedingly dynamic and competitive in recent times. This dynamism is manifested in the form of changing process requirements and time constraints. Workflow technology is currently one of the most promising fields of research in business process automation. However, workflow systems to date do not provide the flexibility necessary to support the dynamic nature of business processes. In this paper we primarily discuss the issues and challenges related to managing change and time in workflows representing dynamic business processes. We also present an analysis of workflow modifications and provide feasibility considerations for the automation of this process.

“…Examples are the management of turnaround time of work, the allocation of time to various workflow steps, and the prioritization of tasks in the task queues in the workflow system. Although temporal workflow management has been recognized as an important area (McDermott andMulvihill, 1996, Jasper, Zukunft, andBehrends, 1996;Haimowitz et al, 1996), most previous work has focused on transaction management issues. In this paper, we explore business level concepts and policy issues (Bussler, 1994).…”

Temporal workflow management is important for processes that are time-driven. Claim handling, which requires the documentation, diagnosis, and resolution of customer claims due to faulty products or unsatisfactory services, is an example of such a process because fast turnaround is critical for customer satisfaction. However, little research has been reported in this area, especially at the policy level. In this paper, we develop a framework for temporal workflow management, which includes issues such as turnaround time predication, time allocation, and task prioritization. We propose also the use of reward functions to guide workers' behavior with the goal of increasing efficiency while allowing flexibility.
