The Application of Petri Nets to Workflow Management

by W.M.P. Van Der Aalst , 1998
"... Workflow management promises a new solution to an age-old problem: controlling, monitoring, optimizing and supporting business processes. What is new about workflow management is the explicit representation of the business process logic which allows for computerized support. This paper discusses the ..."

the use of Petri nets in the context of workflow management. Petri nets are an established tool for modeling and analyzing processes. On the one hand, Petri nets can be used as a design language for the specification of complex workflows. On the other hand, Petri net theory provides for powerful analysis

Workflow Mining: Discovering process models from event logs

by W.M.P. van der Aalst, A.J.M.M. Weijter, L. Maruster - IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering , 2003
"... Contemporary workflow management systems are driven by explicit process models, i.e., a completely specified workflow design is required in order to enact a given workflow process. Creating a workflow design is a complicated time-consuming process and typically there are discrepancies between the ac ..."

The PHANToM haptic interface: A device for probing virtual objects

by Thomas H. Massie, J. K. Salisbury - Proceedings of the ASME Dynamic Systems and Control Division , 1994
"... This paper describes the PHANTOM haptic interface- a device which measures a user’s finger tip position and exerts a precisely controlled force vector on the finger tip. The device has enabled users to interact with and feel a wide variety of virtual objects and will be used for control of remote ma ..."

A Touring Machine: Prototyping 3D Mobile Augmented Reality Systems for Exploring the Urban Environment

by Steven Feiner, Blair Macintyre, Tobias Höllerer , 1997
"... We describe a prototype system that combines together the overlaid 3D graphics of augmented reality with the untethered freedom of mobile computing. The goal is to explore how these two technologies might together make possible wearable computer systems that can support users in their everyday inter ..."

Acme: An Architecture Description Interchange Language

by David Garlan, Robert Monroe, David Wile - in Proceedings of CASCON’97 , 1997
"... Numerous architectural description languages (ADLs) have been developed, each providing complementary capabilities for architectural development and analysis. Unfortunately, each ADL and supporting toolset operates in isolation, making it di cult to integrate those tools and share architectural desc ..."

A taxonomy of workflow management systems for grid computing

by Jia Yu, Rajkumar Buyya , 2005
"... With the advent of Grid and application technologies, scientists and engineers are building more and more complex applications to manage and process large data sets, and execute scientific experiments on distributed resources. Such application scenarios require means for composing and executing comp ..."
Abstract - Cited by 229 (11 self) - Add to MetaCart
representative Grid workflow systems developed by various projects world-wide to demonstrate the comprehensiveness of the taxonomy. The taxonomy not only highlights the design and engineering similarities and differences of state-of-the-art in Grid workflow systems, but also identifies the areas that need

Semantic E-Workflow Composition

by Jorge Cardoso, Amit Sheth - Journal of Intelligent Information Systems , 2003
"... Systems and infrastructures are currently being developed to support Web services. The main idea is to encapsulate an organization’s functionality within an appropriate interface and advertise it as Web services. While in some cases Web services may be utilized in an isolated form, it is normal to e ..."
Abstract - Cited by 171 (28 self) - Add to MetaCart
to expect Web services to be integrated as part of workflow processes. The composition of workflow processes that model e-service applications differs from the design of traditional workflows, in terms of the number of tasks (Web services) available to the composition process, in their heterogeneity
