This book offers a comprehensive introduction to workflow management, the management of business processes with information technology. By defining, analyzing, and redesigning an organization's resources and operations, workflow management systems ensure that the right information reaches the right person or computer application at the right time. The book provides a basic overview of workflow terminology and organization, as well as detailed coverage of workflow modeling with Petri nets. Because Petri nets make definitions easier to understand for nonexperts, they facilitate communication between designers and users. The book includes a chapter of case studies, review exercises, and a glossary. A special Web site developed by the authors, www.workflowcourse.com, features animation, interactive examples, lecture materials, exercises and solutions, relevant links, and other valuable resources for the classroom.

As the business environment has become more and more turbulent over the past decade, information technology has begun to run into the danger of becoming an impediment rather than a motor of progress. In order to deal with the need for rapid, continuous change, computer science is challenged to develop novel interrelated information and communication technologies, and to align them with the social needs of co-operating user groups, as well as the management requirements of formal organisations. Workflow systems are among the most advertised technologies addressing this trend, but they mean different things to different people. Computer scientists understand workflows as a way to extract control from application programs, thus making them more flexible. Bureaucratic organisations (and most commercial products) perceive them as supporting a linear or branching flow of documents from one workplace to another - the next try after the failure cf office automation. This book takes another perspective, that of the modem customer-driven and groupwork-oriented process organisation. Extending the language-action perspective from the CSCW field, its customer-oriented view of workflows enables novel kinds of business process analysis, and leads to interesting new combinations of information and co-operation technologies. Schal's empirical studies show some of the pitfalls resulting from a naive use of these technologies, and exemplify ways to get around these pitfalls.

Diploma Thesis from the year 2002 in the subject Computer Science - Commercial Information Technology, grade: very good, University of Linz (Applied Computer Science), language: English, abstract: Konventionelles Workflow Management beschränkt sich auf die Verbesserung der Effizienz von Geschäftsprozessen innerhalb einer Organisation. Jedoch sollten Prozesse auch dann elektronisch unterstützt werden können, wenn sie organisationale Grenzen überschreiten, wie z.B. in virtuellen Unternehmen. Wegen der speziellen Eigenschaften von interorganisationalen Workflows kann konventionelle Workflow Technologie nicht direkt angewendet werden. Die wichtigste Anforderung an interorganisationale Workflow Systeme ist klarerweise, Interoperabilität zwischen heterogenen Systemen zu erreichen. Sehr wichtig sind auch Vertraulichkeit der internen Prozesse und Sicherheit. Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit gibt eine Einführung in interorganisationales Workflow Management, seine Aspekte und Konzepte. Anforderungen an interorganisationale Workflow Systeme werden ausgearbeitet und die wichtigsten Ansätze, Projekte und Initiativen werden beschrieben: XML-basierte Ansätze, die Standards der WfMC, elektronische Marktplätze und elektronische Verträge. Eine Evaluierung dieser Ansätze anhand eines Kriterienkatalogs, der aus den Anforderungen und anderen Eigenschaften der Ansätze abgeleitet wird, zeigt die verschiedenen Stärken und Schwächen. Die XML-basierten Ansätze bieten Standards für die Schnittstellen der Prozesse und eine gute Lösung bzgl. Heterogenität. Manche von ihnen ermöglichen sogar die spontane Zusammenarbeit mit neuen Geschäftspartnern ohne vorherige Absprache. Traditioneller elektronischer Datenaustausch (EDI) ist vom Prinzip her ähnlich, hat aber viele Nachteile. Die Standards der WfMC ermöglichen einen sehr geringen Aufwand bei der Systemintegration, wenn sich die Anbieter daran halten. Aber Vertraulichkeit und Sicherheit sind potentielle Problemfelder und nur einfache Kooperationsmodelle werden unterstützt. Elektronische Marktplätze und elektronische Verträge sind ideal, wenn die Anzahl der Geschäftspartner hoch ist oder die Geschäftspartner abhängig von der jeweiligen Situation dynamisch gewählt werden sollen. Dazu müssen deren Services aber leicht vergleichbar sein und einfache Schnittstellen haben.

The motivation behind the conception of this monograph was to advance scientific knowledge about the design and control of workflow processes. A workflow pr- ess (or workflow for short) is a specific type of business process, a way of or- nizing work and resources. Workflows are commonly found within large admin- trative organizations such as banks, insurance companies, and governmental agencies. Carrying out the tasks of a workflow in a particular order is required to handle one type of case. Examples of cases are mortgage applications, customer complaints, and claims for unemployment benefits. A workflow used in handling mortgage applications may contain tasks for recording the application, specifying a mortgage proposal, and approving the final policy. The monograph concentrates on four workflow-related issues within the area of Business Process Management; the field of designing and controlling business processes. The first issue is how workflows can be adequately modeled. Workflow mod- ing is an indispensable activity to support any reasoning about workflows. Diff- ent purposes of workflow modeling can be distinguished, such as system ena- ment by Workflow Management Systems, knowledge management, costing, and budgeting. The focus of workflow modeling in this monograph is (a) to support simulation and analysis of workflows and (b) to specify a new workflow design. The main formalism used for the modeling of workflows is the Petri net. Many - isting notions to define several relevant properties have been adopted, such as the workflow net and the soundness notion.

Based on the results of the study carried out in 1996 to investigate the state of the art of workflow and process technology, MCC initiated the Collaboration Management Infrastructure (CMI) research project to develop innovative agent-based process technology that can support the process requirements of dynamically changing organizations and the requirements of nomadic computing. With a research focus on the flow of interaction among people and software agents representing people, the project deliverables will include a scalable, heterogeneous, ubiquitous and nomadic infrastructure for business processes. The resulting technology is being tested in applications that stress an intensive mobile collaboration among people as part of large, evolving business processes. Workflow and Process Automation: Concepts and Technology provides an overview of the problems and issues related to process and workflow technology, and in particular to definition and analysis of processes and workflows, and execution of their instances. The need for a transactional workflow model is discussed and a spectrum of related transaction models is covered in detail. A plethora of influential projects in workflow and process automation is summarized. The projects are drawn from both academia and industry. The monograph also provides a short overview of the most popular workflow management products, and the state of the workflow industry in general. Workflow and Process Automation: Concepts and Technology offers a road map through the shortcomings of existing solutions of process improvement by people with daily first-hand experience, and is suitable as a secondary text for graduate-level courses on workflow and process automation, and as a reference for practitioners in industry.

Foreword by industry legend Harold Kerzner! This book describes a completely unique step-by-step, workflow-guiding approach to project management which simplifies activities by enforcing execution of all required processes on time, and redirecting to an alternative path in the event of project issues. Since compliance with all project management processes is enforced by the workflow, product quality is significantly improved and life cycle errors are almost eliminated. Project Workflow Management: A Business Process Approach is the first and only book in the marketplace which enables readers with no prior project management experience to manage the entire life cycle of any small to mid-sized project. It also equips mid- and senior-level project managers with directions and a detailed map to the effective management of complex projects and programs.
