“…CAKE 7 is a software platform being developed at the University of Trier during the past 7 years. It has been used to build various prototypical applications involving an integration of CBR and agile workflows technology, in various areas such as fire services [19], chip design [38], medicine [35], geographical information systems [19], administrative business workflows, and cookery [36]. CAKE is a generic system that is fully implemented in JAVA and which can be configured by XML files that encode ontologies, similarity measures, case bases, and workflows.…”

In the recent years, the use of workflows has significantly expanded from its original domain of business processes towards new areas. The increasing demand for individual and more flexible workflows asks for new methods that support domain experts to create, monitor, and adapt workflows. The emergent field of process-oriented case-based reasoning addresses this problem by proposing methods for reasoning with workflows based on experience. New workflows can be constructed by reuse of already available similar workflows from a repository. Hence, methods for the similarity assessment of workflows and for the efficient retrieval of similar workflows from a repository are of core importance. To this end, we describe a new generic model for representing workflows as semantically labeled graphs, together with a related model for knowledge intensive similarity measures. Further, new algorithms for workflow similarity computation, based on A* search are described. A new retrieval algorithm is introduced that goes beyond traditional sequential retrieval for graphs, interweaving similarity computation with case selection. We describe the application of this model and several experimental evaluations of the algorithms in the domain of scientific workflows and in the domain of business workflows, thereby showing its broad applicability.

“…In medical healthcare, workflows can be used to support the execution of medical guidelines, i.e. standardized treatment processes of a certain disease [35,33]. Further, workflows can be used to represent and execute search [19] and information integration processes [24] in the context of decision support systems.…”

“…The integration of Care-flow Management Systems (CMS) can greatly improve a patient's journey through the health care system. CMSs can be used in a variety of ways, as control mechanisms to constrain the operations of health care workers to predefined treatment protocols (Curia, Gallucci, & Ruffolo, 2005), as decision support mechanisms that assist clinicians with prescribing treatment protocols (Maximini & Schaaf, 2003) and as central repositories for the comparison and analysis of different treatment protocols (Ruffolo, Manna, Cozza, & Ursino, 2007). Of these three only (Ruffolo et al, 2007) addresses the need for internet compatibility so that stored information may be accessed by any HCO.…”

A Framework for Detecting Interactions Between Co-Incident Clinical Processes

The detection of treatment conflicts between multiple treatment protocols that are co-incident is a difficult and open problem that is particularly exacerbated regarding the treatment of multiple medical conditions co-occurring in aged patients. For example, a clinical protocol for prostate cancer treatment requires the administration of androgen-suppressing medication, which may negatively interact with another, co-incident protocol if the same patient were being treated for renal disease via haemodialysis, where androgen-enhancers are frequently administered. These treatment conflicts are subtle and difficult to detect using automated means. Traditional approaches to clinical decision support would require significant clinical knowledge. In this paper, the authors present an alternative approach that relies on encoding treatment protocols via process models (in BPMN) and annotating these models with semantic effect descriptions, which automatically detects conflicts. This paper describes an implemented tool (ProcessSEER) used for semantic effect annotation of a set of 12 cancer trial protocols and depicts the machinery required to detect treatment conflicts. The authors also argue whether the semantic effect annotations of treatment protocols can be leveraged for other tasks.
