and applications to support evolving business processes. Workflow technology facilitates these by providing methodologies and software to support (i) business process modeling to capture business processes as workflow specifications, (ii) business process reengineering to optimize specified processes, and (iii

The Ontolingua Server: a Tool for Collaborative Ontology Construction

by Adam Farquhar, Richard Fikes, James Rice - International Journal of Human-Computer Studies , 1996
"... Reusable ontologies are becoming increasingly important for tasks such as information integration, knowledge-level interoperation, and knowledgebase development. We have developed a set of tools and services to support the process of achieving consensus on common shared ontologies by geographically ..."

Toward the next generation of recommender systems: A survey of the state-of-the-art and possible extensions

by Gediminas Adomavicius, Alexander Tuzhilin - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON KNOWLEDGE AND DATA ENGINEERING , 2005
"... This paper presents an overview of the field of recommender systems and describes the current generation of recommendation methods that are usually classified into the following three main categories: content-based, collaborative, and hybrid recommendation approaches. This paper also describes vario ..."

ADEPT flex - Supporting Dynamic Changes of Workflows Without Loosing Control

by Manfred Reichert, Peter Dadam - Journal of Intelligent Information Systems , 1998
"... . Today's workflow management systems (WFMSs) are only applicable in a secure and safe manner if the business process (BP) to be supported is well-structured and there is no need for ad hoc deviations at runtime. As only few BPs are static in this sense, this significantly limits the applicabil ..."
