Tailoring Process Synthesis to Domain Characteristics
Stefan Naujokat, Anna-Lena Lamprecht, Bernhard Steffen · 2011
PROPHETS is our flexible framework for the synthesis of processes from libraries of basic services. In this paper we demonstrate how its synthesis strategy can be tailored to the considered application domain. For this purpose, PROPHETS provides a number of configuration options, such as different data exchange formats (e.g. shared variables and pipe lining) for the resulting process, as well as structural and temporal logic constraints for minimizing the inherent search space. We illustrate the impact of adequate synthesis tailoring by contrasting two real-life case studies with diametric characteristics.
