Semantic execution of subject-oriented process models

Abstract

Workflow Management Systems (WFMS) are becoming increasingly important as tools to support people involved in the execution of business processes and to automate parts of it. As business processes involve several actors with varying backgrounds, workflow engines need to offer appropriate interfaces in order to be accepted and deliver the expected benefits. In this paper we present a structural interface design based on general user interface requirements and special properties of workflow systems, in particular of a subject-oriented workflow engine. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
