A business process is classified into two processes; the private process which is implemented within an enterprise and the public process which is implemented between enterprises. The public process commonly used for B2B e-business is defined as a collaborative business process. To date, the collaborative business process has been studied in various aspects. We have categorized the research trends into two viewpoints, i.e., EAI(Enterprise Application Integration) and B2Bi (business to business Integration). In this paper, research trends in inter-organizational workflow are analyzed from the EAI point of view, and research trends in message-based business process and transactions from the B2Bi point of view.

Workflow is a collection of tasks organized to accomplish some business processes. It also defines the order of task invocation or conditions under which task must be invoked, task synchronization, and information flow. And activity based costing(ABC) provides accurate cost information for decision making. In ABC systems, costs must be separable into cost pools each of which corresponding to a single cost driver. These two systems are closely related to each other. But recent research deals with workflows and ABC systems separately. Thus, this research proposes an extended workflow model which is expressed cost information using activity based costing.

The changing business environment requires that firms reengineer their fundamental processes in order to retain their competitive advantage. Most Business Proess Reengineering (BPR) projects, however, have failed partly because the essential enabler, ie. information technology, was unable to perpetuate the original vision. The information systems were unable to support the collaboration among the workers participating in the process. Workflow Management Systems (WfMS) have the potential to enhance not only individual performance as did traditional information systems, but also the group performance essential to the success of BPR by providing an effective means of communications through connectivity. It also enhances productivitiy through proceduralization of the fundamental processes, thus making it possible to empower the employee even while it controls the flow, and ultimately the delaly that originally made the BPR effort necessary. Therefore, though it is not a panacea, WfMS's can improve chances for the success of BPR projects. Managers who have realized this are faced with another obstacle - that of selecting the WfMS that best meets the particular organization's needs. This paper provids an evaluation structure of WfMS functions with emphasis on those functions that are essential for BPR, classifying the functions into an attribute hierarchy according to the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach. It also suggests specific evaluation criteria for the main workflow functions provided by most vendors today, thus providing managers with a comprehensive guideline to facilitate the decision process.

A workflow management system is a software system to assist designing processes, controlling and managing the execution of the designed processes. One emerging trend in many recent information systems is the provision of process management functions. In this paper, we propose a method of designing processes for automatic process execution directly from process modeling. First of all, the concept of block is presented which is to define a nested process model. A block is the minimum unit that can specify the relationships of process components, i.e., tasks. A general process can be defined by a combination of the blocks defined in this paper. An algorithm is developed to transform a general flat process model into a nested model. We identify basic types of blocks and build ECA (Event-Condition-Action) rules for each of the basic types. This allows us to automate the execution of the process model by using the active features of active databases.

In B2B e-commerce environments, many initiatives for process modeling have made efforts to design business processes correctly. Especially, Petri nets have been widely used as a good theory to design and verify process models. Therefore, we propose the process modeling method for the B2B e-commerce based on Petri nets. First of all, a B2B process model based on BPSS is represented by the UML activity diagram. Second, the activity diagram is transformed to a Petri net model. For the transformation, well-behaved building blocks/control structures and the modeling rules for inter-organizational workflow processes are proposed. Third, the process is partitioned into sharable processes for individual business partners. Finally, according to needs of individual business partners, the sharable processes are modified by well-structured refinement rules. The whole procedure is explained with the purchase process of an e-bookstore.

Company A should maintain myriad conversion tools for the purpose of making a geometric compilation of navigation maps. Company A is already using complex compilation tools, which are tailored to geographical areas and various GPS models. However, due to frequent requirement and personnel changes, there is an endless challenge for perfect tool configuration and multiple map consolidation. To solve this problem, Company A launched a process automation project using Graphviz, which is an open source workflow graph visualization software. Before implementation, they had to document their current map compilation processes and then match it with the applicable conversion tool. For effective representation of process controls, a new graphical process notation is designed, i.e. Y Block diagram. The authors will compare Y Block diagram with other process notations and explain why Y Block diagram is more useful for tool based business processes such as digital map generation processes.

본 논문에서는 대규모 워크플로우 기반 소셜 네트워크를 위한 추정 근접 중심도 랭킹 알고리즘을 구현하고, 그에 대한 성능 분석을 수행한다. 기존의 근접 중심도 분석 방법은 특정 노드와 다른 모든 노드들 간의 최단거리를 구하므로 네트워크의 크기가 커짐에 따라 근접 중심도 분석 시간이 기하급수적으로 증가하는 문제점을 가진다. 이로 인해 대규모 소셜 네트워크의 근접 중심도 랭킹 과정에도 계산시간 문제를 가진다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하고자 본 논문에서는 추정기법을 활용한 근접 중심도 랭킹 알고리즘을 구현하며 기존 알고리즘과의 성능 분석을 수행한다. 이는 약 50%의 계산 시간 단축 결과를 보여주었다.

워크플로우 시스템은 긴 주기의 프로세스의 실행을 통제하는 소프트웨어 시스템이다. 조직의 구성원들이 프로세스의 실행을 담당하는데, 프로세스의 특정 부분을 누가 수행하는가를 결정하는 작업할당 정책이 워크플로우 시스템에 설계 및 구현되어 있어야한다. 여러 조직들의 작업할당에는 매우 다양한 문제들이 있을 수 있어서, 다양한 여러 문제들을 다 포괄하는 하나의 모델을 고안하는 것은 가능하지 않을 것이다. 본 논문에서는 워크플로우 시스템에서의 작업할당 정책에 대한 보편적인 설계 방법으로서, 각 조직에 주어진 임의의 고려할 사항들에서부터 작업할당 정책들을 정의하기 위한 메타 모델 기반 접근 방법을 제시한다.

이 논문에서는 웹 서비스와 그리드 컴퓨팅과 같은 차세대 인터넷 서비스 환경에서 프로세스 관리 기능을 제공하기 위한 워크플로우 수행 모델을 제안하였다. 기업 환경을 위한 기존 워크플로우 수행모델은 이러한 환경의 확장성과 신뢰성에 대한 요구를 만족시키지 못하고 있다. 이러한 요구사항을 만족시키기 위하여, 이 연구에서는 P2P 모델을 워크플로우 수행 모델에 적용하였다. 신뢰성 지원을 위한 복구기법을 집합론을 사용하여 수학적으로 기술하고 증명하였고, 시뮬레이션을 통하여 같은 자원을 사용하는 중앙 집중식 모델에 비하여 약 100배 이상의 신속한 응답시간 향상을 보임을 알 수 있었다.

The assembly of modular construction requires a series of thoroughly-considered decisions for crane lifting including the crane model selection, crane location planning, and lift path planning. Traditionally, this decision-making process is empirical and time-consuming, requiring significant human inputs. Recently, research efforts have been dedicated to improving lift planning practices by leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as automated data acquisition, Building Information Modelling (BIM) and computational algorithms. It has been demonstrated that these technologies have advanced lift planning to some degree. However, the advancements tend to be fragmented and isolated. There are two hurdles prevented a systematic improvement of lift planning practices. First, the lack of formalized lift planning workflow, outlining the procedure and necessary information. Secondly, there is also an absence of a shared information environment, enabling storages, updates and the distribution of information to stakeholders in a timely manner. Thus, this paper aims to overcome the hurdles. The study starts with a literature review in combination with document analysis, enabling the initial workflow and information flow. These were contextualised through a series of interviews with Australian practitioners in the crane-related industry, and systematically analysed and schematically validated through an expert panel. Findings included formalized workflow and corresponding information exchanges in a traditional lift planning practice via a Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN). The traditional practice is thus reviewed to identify opportunities for further enhancements. Finally, a BIM-based lift planning workflow is proposed, which integrates the scattered technologies (e.g. BIM and computational algorithms) with the aim of supporting lift planning automation. The resulting framework is setting out procedures that need to be developed and the potential obstacles towards automated lift planning are identified.
