Workflow management systems should efficiently manage workflow constraints such as time, resource, and cost during workflow executions. Especially, workflow time management is important in timely scheduling of workflow process execution, avoiding deadline violations, and improving the workflow throughput. Though there have been some studies on the dynamic deadline management in a workflow, the importance of the static deadline management has not been much addressed in the past. We first describe our workflow model considered in this paper. Then, we propose a static deadline allocation method that can facilitate an efficient workflow processing. The proposed method can achieve high workflow throughput by analyzing the interrelated workflow components. We also present various experimental results that show the usefulness and efficiency of the method.

Efficient business workflow management in large-scale areas is in great demand. However, current business workflow management systems are short of distributed workflow execution support. In our paper, we design and implement a distributed framework called PeerODE for Apache ODE (Orchestration Director Engine) [1], an open-sourced business workflow engine. PeerODE presents a scalable approach to P2P business process execution. The scheduling experiment on PeerODE shows that the framework handles the distributed business process execution effectively.

Collaborative product development (CPD) is a dynamic collaborative process. A workflow model supporting CPD can provide a powerful and orderly workflow management for modern product development. This paper studies the requirements of CPD towards the workflow model, establishes a workflow metamodel supporting CPD process, proposes an idea of ontology-based workflow modeling and builds the workflow ontology model, which will strongly support interactive manipulation between the workflow management systems of collaborative product development.

The problem of performance evaluation of business processes supported by Workflow Management Systems is a recent research issue. In this paper we propose a measurement framework in which several aspects concerning the timing and working of a business process, either as a whole or in terms of its components, can be precisely quantified. Our approach is based on the workflow model introduced by the Workflow Management Coalition and introduces some fundamental measures from which a number of derived measures can be hierarchically obtained. The paper describes the basic structures and the primitive operators of the framework as well as the fundamental and derived measures. Techniques for the evaluation of complex processes are also discussed. The proposed framework is quite general and can be applied to research and commercial workflow management systems with relatively little implementation effort.

AbstractFor Read-Write Linked Data, an environment of reasoning and RESTful interaction, we investigate the use of the Guard-Stage-Milestone approach for specifying and executing user agents. We present an ontology to specify user agents. Moreover, we give operational semantics to the ontology in a rule language that allows for executing user agents on Read-Write Linked Data. We evaluate our approach formally and regarding performance. Our work shows that despite different assumptions of this environment in contrast to the traditional environment of workflow management systems, the Guard-Stage-Milestone approach can be transferred and successfully applied on the web of Read-Write Linked Data.
