Based on the proposed ranking changes by CORE to conferences which EDOC has been compared to in the initial submission, we submit additional information and humbly request to reconsider the request. The CORE ranking has a high impact on the future of this conference where many Universities in Australia and overseas do not provide funding any more for researcher to submit to B ranked conferences. We believe that the facts summarised in the attached PDF document justify a rank A of EDOC.

  • Facilitating Dynamic Flexibility and Exception Handling for Workflows
    Facilitating Dynamic Flexibility and Exception Handling for Workflows by Michael James Adams B.Comp (Hons) A dissertation submitted for the degree of IF49 Doctor of Philosophy Principal Supervisor: Associate Professor Arthur H.M. ter Hofstede Associate Supervisors: Dr David Edmond & Professor Wil M.P. van der Aalst Faculty of Information Technology Queensland University of Technology Brisbane, Australia 14 November 2007 Certificate of Acceptance i Keywords workflow exception handling, workflow flexibility, adaptive workflow, service oriented architecture, Activity Theory, Ripple-Down Rules, worklet, exlet, YAWL ii Abstract Workflow Management Systems (WfMSs) are used to support the modelling, analysis, and enactment of business processes. The key benefits WfMSs seek to bring to an or- ganisation include improved efficiency, better process control and improved customer service, which are realised by modelling rigidly structured business processes that in turn derive well-defined workflow process instances. However, the proprietary process definition frameworks imposed by WfMSs make it difficult to support (i) dynamic evo- lution and adaptation (i.e. modifying process definitions during execution) following unexpected or developmental change in the business processes being modelled; and (ii) exceptions, or deviations from the prescribed process model at runtime, even though it has been shown that such deviations are a common occurrence for almost all processes. These limitations imply that a large subset of business processes do not easily translate to the ‘system-centric’ modelling frameworks imposed. This research re-examines the fundamental theoretical principles that underpin workflow technologies to derive an approach that moves forward from the production- line paradigm and thereby offers workflow management support for a wider range of work environments.

We are not only interested in these information systems and their architecture, but also model and analyze the business processes and organizations they support. Our mission is to be one of the worldwide leading research groups in process modeling and analysis, process mining, and PAIS technology.

Chapter 1 Introduction Wil van der Aalst, Michael Adams, Arthur ter Hofstede, and Nick Russell 1.1 Overview The area of Business Process Management (BPM) has received considerable attention in recent years due to its potential for significantly increasing productiv- ity and saving cost. In BPM, the concept of a process is fundamental and serves as a starting point for understanding how a business operates and what opportu- nities exist for streamlining its constituent activities. It is therefore not surprising that the potential impact of BPM is wide-ranging and that its introduction has both managerial as well as technical ramifications. While benefits can be derived from BPM even when its application is restricted to what can be described as “pen-and-paper” exercises, such as the visualization of business process models in order to discuss opportunities for change and improve- ment, there is potentially much more to be gained if such an analysis serves as the blueprint for subsequent automation of key business processes.

Configurable process models provide a basis for managing variability and for enabling reuse of process models in Process-Aware Information Sys- tems. Rather than designing process models from scratch, analysts can derive process models by configuring existing ones, thereby reusing proven practices. This thesis starts with the observation that existing approaches for capturing and managing configurable process models suffer from three shortcomings that affect their usability in practice. Firstly, configuration in existing approaches is performed manu- ally and as such it is error-prone. In particular, analysts are left with the burden of ensuring the correctness of the individualized models. Secondly, existing approaches suffer from a lack of decision support for the selection of configuration alternatives. Consequently, stakeholders involved in the configuration of process models need to pos- sess expertise both in the application domain and in the modeling language employed.
