: Grid computing infrastructures and service-oriented architectures commonly rely on web services as their implementation technology. This technology allows complex workflows to be...
The control-flow of business workflows is characterized by the strict execution order of the activities that is already defined at design time. This well-structured control-flow is...
As knowledge engineering moves to the Semantic Web, ontologies become dynamic products of collaborative development rather than artifacts produced in a closed environment of a sing...

Abstract. Workflows are operational business processes. Workfow Management Systems (WFMS) are concerned with the control and coordination of these workflows. In recent years, there...
The focus of traditional workflow management systems is on control flow within one process definition, that describes how a single case (i.e., workflow instance) is handled in isol...

As information technology (IT) administration becomes increasingly complex, workflow technologies are gaining popularity for IT automation. Writing correct workflow programs is no...
Workflows are modeled as hierarchically structured directed acyclic graphs in which vertices represent computational tasks, referred to as requests, and edges represent precedent c...
