“…In addition, explicit communication and coordination entities (i.e., events, message channels), intended for publishing information, do not convey any functional load and, therefore, complicate and encumber process models. Agent-based or agentinspired approaches for coordination of business processes as [1,11] also utilize explicit information publishing entities, thus sharing the same disadvantages.…”

Abstract. Companies strive to retain the knowledge about their business processes by modelling them. However, non-routine people-intensive processes, such as distributed collaboration, are hard to model due to their unpredictable nature. Often such processes involve advanced activities, such as discovery of socially coherent teams or unbiased experts, or complex coordination towards reaching a consensus. Modeling such activities requires an expressive formal representation of process context, i.e. related actors and artifacts. Existing modeling approaches do not provide the necessary level of expressiveness to capture it. We therefore propose a novel modeling approach and a graphical notation, demonstrate their applicability and expressivity via several use cases, and discuss their strengths and weaknesses.

Abstract. Mashup is a new web 2.0 technology for data aggregation applications, combining data from different sources to create valuable information. The uses of mashups are often more data related than process related. In this paper, we explore the differences between data-oriented mashups and process-oriented enterprise mashups and consider how process mashups can be used for virtual enterprise collaboration. We highlight the modeling of end users' process mashup applications from both a control flow and a data flow perspective. Based on our analyses, a lightweight process modeling approach is proposed for process enterprise mashup applications. Our approach, illustrated by reference to an example personal collaborative activity, will support collaboration among users with different levels of modeling skills and expertise in a virtual enterprise environment.

“…Unfortunately, current workflow systems fall short in this area, a fact which is recognized in the literature [7,9]. Once a workflow-based application has been configured on the basis of explicit process models, the execution of related process instances tends to be rather inflexible [3,33]. Consequently, the lack of demonstrated flexibility has significantly limited the application of workflow technology.…”

Abstract. Hospitals and other healthcare organizations need to support complex and dynamic workflows. Moreover, these processes typically invoke a number of medical disciplines. This makes it important to avoid the typical disconnect between requirements and the actual implementation of the system. In this paper we apply a development approach where an Executable Use Case (EUC) and a Colored Workflow Net (CWN) are used to close the gap between a given requirements specification and the realization of these requirements based on workflow technology. In order to do so, we describe a large case study where the diagnostic process of the gynecological oncology care process of the Academic Medical Center (AMC) hospital is used as a candidate process. The process consists of hundreds of activities. These have been modeled and analyzed using an EUC and a CWN. Moreover, based on the CWN, the process has been implemented using four different workflow systems. In this way, we demonstrate the general application of the approach and its applicability to distinct technology systems.
