A Workflow Execution Platform for Collaborative Artifact-Centric Business Processes

  • Conference paper

Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNISA,volume 8842)

Abstract

To execute an artifact-centric process model, current workflow execution approaches require it to be converted to some existing executable language (e.g., BPEL) in order to run on a workflow system. We argue that the transformation can incur losses of information and degrade traceability. In this paper, we proposed and developed a workflow execution platform that directly executes a collaborative (i.e., inter-organizational) workflow specification of artifact-centric business processes without performing model conversion.
