Achieving Flexible and Compliant Processes in Disaster Management
Kai Kittel, Stefan Sackmann, Hans Betke, Marlen Hofmann · 2013
Workflow management systems are becoming increasingly flexible and thus open up new areas of application, such as the coordination of activities in disaster response management. However, for managing disaster events effectively, flexibility is seen as a necessary but not sufficient condition. Moreover, effective disaster management processes require comprehensive access to and the processing of public as well as private information. Since extensive data usage without adequate controls will not be accepted in any open and free society, validating compliance for flexible disaster management processes is becoming crucial for realizing the enormous options of new information and communication technologies. In this contribution, we present a novel approach for realizing adaptive controls in flexible disaster management processes.
