Logic Representation Of Processes In Work Activity Coordination

This paper put forth the argument that processes in work activities coordination software, like workflows, process centered software engineering environments (PSEE), and so on, should be represented in a logic language. This allows for a unified representation of processes, constraints, and policies, and allows for many modes of interactions with the work activity coordination software, as appropriate for manufacturing, workflow applications, software processes application, and scientific applications. This paper discusses mainly the temporal aspects of a logic representation language for processes. © 2000 ACM.1203209Arbaoui, S., Oquendo, F., Chapter Peace: Goal-oriented logic-based formalism for process modeling (1994) Software Process Modelling and Technology, , John Wiley and SonsBorgida, A., Murata, T., Tolerating exceptions in workflows: A unified framework for data and processes (1999) Proeceedings of the International Joint COnference on Work Activities Coordination and Collaboration (WACC'99), pp. 59-68. , Software Engineering Notes, March 1999Coalition, W.M., (1994) Workflow Reference Model, , BrusselsEllis, C., Keddara, K., Rozenberg, G., Dynamic change within workflow systems ACM Proc.
