Using Workflow Context for Automated Enactment Tracking.
Thomas Sauer, Kerstin Maximini · 2006
Workflows are getting a more and more pervasive concept for modeling arbitrary activities. The resulting workflow definitions will convey knowledge how and when to apply the right procedures. Whenever innovative, experimental or explorative tasks have to be fulfilled, however, workflows will evolve to previously unknown structures. In order to allow planning and quality assurance nevertheless, the tasks currently enacted within an organization must be known. In this paper, an approach for automatically tracking the active tasks by observing the data produced is presented. Further, it is described how this approach is applied for geographical information management.
