워크플로우 관리 시스템은 크게 다섯 가지 측면, 즉 자원(조직)측면, 제어흐름측면, 데이터흐름측면, 이력관리측면, 운용(응용프로그램)측면의 핵심규격을 정의하고 분석하는 모델링모듈과 그 규격에 따른 워크케이스를 실행시키는 엔진모듈로 구성된다. 또한, 워크플로우 관리 시스템의 품격을 결정짓는 핵심기준은 "제정된 규격에 따른 워크플로우 실행의 정확성을 얼마나 보장할 수 있는가?"이다. 특히, 워크플로우의 제어흐름측면규격과 데이터흐름측면규격의 상호간섭으로 발생할 수 있는 "워크플로우 결정성 문제"는 워크플로우 실행의 정확성 보장 여부를 결정짓는 핵심문제이며, 이에 대한 해결방안은 모델링모듈 차원의 워크플로우 분석기법과 엔진모듈 차원의 워크플로우 실행 검증기법으로 나뉘어 구현될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 워크플로우 결정성 문제에 대한 해결방안으로 엔진모듈 차원의 워크플로우 실행 검증기법, 즉 워크플로우 엔진모듈에 의해 실행되는 액티비티들간의 상호간섭 조건(제어흐름과 데이터흐름)을 검출할 수 있는 메커니즘을 제안한다. 또한, 제안된 메커니즘을 저자 소속의 연구실에서 개발한 워크플로우 관리 시스템에 실제 적용한 결과를 제시함으로서 워크플로우 결정성 문제에 대한 실행 가능한 해결방안임을 증명한다.

Workflow process mining is becoming a more and more valuable activity in workflow-supported enterprises, and through which it is possible to achieve the high levels of qualitative business goals in terms of improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the workflow-supported information systems, increasing their operational performances, reducing their completion times with minimizing redundancy times, and saving their managerial costs. One of the critical challenges in the workflow process mining activity is to devise a reasonable approach to discover and recognize the bottleneck points of workflow process models from their enactment event histories. We have intuitively realized the fact that the iterative process pattern of redo-activities ought to have the high possibility of becoming a bottleneck point of a workflow process model. Hence, we, in this paper, propose an algorithmic approach and its implementation to discover the redo-activities and their performers' involvements patterns from workflow process enactment event logs. Additionally, we carry out a series of experimental analyses by applying the implemented algorithm to four datasets of workflow process enactment event logs released from the BPI Challenges. Finally, those discovered redo-activities and their performers' involvements patterns are visualized in a graphical form of information control nets as well as a tabular form of the involvement percentages, respectively.

Workflow management systems (WfMSs) automate and manage workflows, which are implementations of organizational processes operated in process-centric organizations. In this paper, wepropose an algorithm to discover temporal work transference networks from workflow execution logs. The temporal work transference network is a special type of enterprise social networks that consists of workflow performers, and relationships among them that are formed by work transferences between performers who are responsible in performing precedent and succeeding activities in a workflow process. In terms of analysis, the temporal work transference network is an analytical property that has significant value to be analyzed to discover organizational knowledge for human resource management and related decision-making steps for process-centric organizations. Also, the beginning point of implementinga human-centered workflow intelligence framework dealing with work transference networks is to develop an algorithm for discovering temporal work transference cases on workflow execution logs. To this end, we first formalize a concept of temporal work transference network, and next, we present a discovery algorithm which is for the construction of temporal work transference network from workflow execution logs. Then, as a verification of the proposed algorithm, we apply the algorithm to an XES-formatted log dataset that was released by the process mining research group and finally summarize the discovery result.

With the increasing popularity of computer-generated virtual influencers, the trend is rising especially on social media. Famous virtual influencer characters Lil Miquela and Imma were all created by CGI graphics workflows. The process is typically a linear affair. Iteration is challenging and costly. Development efforts are frequently siloed off from one another. Moreover, it does not provide a real-time interactive experience. In the previous study, a real-time graphic workflow was proposed for the Digital Actor Hologram project while the output graphic quality is less than the results obtained from the CGI graphic workflow. Therefore, a real-time engine graphic workflow for Virtual Influencers is proposed in this paper to facilitate the creation of real-time interactive functions and realistic graphic quality. The real-time graphic workflow is obtained from four processes: Facial Modeling, Facial Texture, Material Shader, and Look-Development. The analysis of performance with real-time graphical workflow for Digital Actor Hologram demonstrates the usefulness of this research result. Our research will be efficient in producing virtual influencers.

본 논문에서는 워크플로우 기반 엔터프라이즈 소셜 네트워크의 비연결성 결정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 워크플로우 기반 엔터프라이즈 소셜 네트워크는 워크플로우 모델에서 업무를 할당받은 수행자들의 관계를 발견한 것이며, 업무 수행자의 능력을 분석하고 수치화하는데 유용하다. 그러나 워크플로우의 특성상 비연결 네트워크가 존재할 수 있으며, 이로 인해 논리적/수학적으로 수행자 분석에 타당하지 않은 결과를 도출할 수 있다. 즉, 워크플로우 네트워크를 분석하기에 앞서 해당 네트워크의 비연결성 여부를 판단해야한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 비연결성의 생성 원인을 규명하고, 워크플로우 기반 엔터프라이즈 소셜 네트워크 모델의 비연결성을 결정하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다.

Purpose: The Objective of this study is to explore the capabilities of an integrated modelling and simulation workflow when applied to an experiment-based research process, aimed at deriving daylight optimization strategies specific to tall buildings. Methods: Two methods were devised to apply this workflow with the help of DIVA and Rhino/Grasshopper. The first method is a multiple variant analysis by setting up an appropriate base case and analysing its daylight and energy performance, forming the basis of comparison for subsequent cases for design variants. The second method involved setting up the base case within a site context and conducting a solar irradiation study. An architectural variables such as overhang and shading device, were then defined as inputs in the parametric definition in Grasshopper to control the selected variable. Results: While the first method took advantage of the speed and efficiency of the integrated workflow, the second method was derived based on the ability to directly process simulation data within the integrated, single-software platform of the proposed workflow. Through these methods, different architectural strategies were explored, both to increase daylight penetration and to reduce radiant heat gain. The focus is on methods by which this workflow can be applied to facilitate the experimental derivation of daylight optimization strategies that are specific to tall building design.

Cloud computing has become a new paradigm by enabling on-demand provisioning of applications, platforms or computing resources for clients. Workflow scheduling has always been treated as one of the most challenging problems in clouds. Commercial clouds have been widely used in scientific research, such as biology, astronomy and weather forecasting. Certainly, it is very important for a cloud service provider to pursue the profits for the commercial essence of clouds. This is also significantly important for the case of providing services to workflow tasks. In this paper, we address the issues of workflow scheduling in commercial clouds. This work takes the communication into account, which has always been ignored. And then, a topology-based workflow-scheduling algorithm named Resource Auction Algorithm (REAL) is proposed in the objective of getting more profits. The algorithm gives a good performance on searching for the optimum schedule for a sample workflow. Also, we find that there exists a certain resource amount, which gets the most profits to help us get more enthusiasm for further developing the research. Experimental results demonstrate that the analysis of the strategies for most profits is reasonable, and REAL gives a good performance on efficiently getting an optimized scheme with low computing complexity.

To realize process-driven management, so many companies have been launching business process managementsystems. Business process is collection of standardized and structured tasks inducing value creation of acompany. Moreover, it is recognized as one of significant intangible business assets to achieve competitiveadvantages. This research introduces a novel approach of workflow process analysis, which has more and moresignificance as process-aware information systems are spreading widely into a lot of companies, In this paper, amethodology of workflow clustering based on process similarity has been proposed. The purpose of workflowclustering is to analyze accumulated process definitions in order to assist design of new processes andimprovement of existing ones. The proposed methodology exploits measures of structural similarity of workflowprocesses.The methodology has been experimented with synthetic process models for illustrating the implicationofworkflow clustering.
