Management of Workflow over the Web Supporting Distributed Process Evolution

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 1749))

Abstract

With the emergence of the Internet, the Web became a widely-used collaboration environment for business process activity. Business process itself is a very evolable entity. In this paper, we introduce a workflow management system called SoftPM/W 2 for the business processes over the Web. For efficient workflow management, SoftPM/W 2 provides integrated formal representation of business process elements, generation of business data model from business process model, a view-based mechanism for distributed evolution, and unique evolution control mechanism.
