Abstract
There are various applications of workflow history information maintained by Workflow Management System in the organizations. Most of such applications are also relevant and required in the context of a Virtual Enterprise. To make these applications of workflow history information feasible, sharing of geographically distributed history information among participating organizations of a virtual enterprise is vital. Such sharing requires a common systematic way of identification of history information. As a part of development of research project HISFIow, we develop a simple and generic scheme to identify history information of workflows across a Virtual Healthcare Enterprise. This scheme provides a robust foundation for more sophisticated Workflow History Management of a Virtual Enterprise. The scheme also caters the concept of partial view of a virtual process i.e. a view of virtual process seen by a participating organization. We use an example to demonstrate the working of the scheme for the identification of workflow history information.
