Abstract: The workflow management system (WFMS) in an agile organization should be highly adaptable to frequent organizational changes. To increase the adaptability of contemporary WFMSs, a mechanism for managing changes on the organizational structure and business rules need to be enhanced. In this paper, a knowledge-based approach for workflow modeling is proposed, in which a workflow is defined as a set of business rules. Knowledge on organizational structure and special workflow, such as role/actor mapping and compl… Show more

“…Work that focuses more on the function of the rules exists as well. For instance, Lee et al (1999) view workflows as sets of business rules. However, the definition of Ross (2003) fits our purposes best, as he defines business rules as a directive intended to influence or guide business process behaviour.…”

“…Karp et al (2010) provide an overview of the different methods of access control, such as role-based access control (RBAC) and attribute-based access control (ABAC). According to Lee et al (1999), firstorder logic (FOL) is often proposed in the literature as a general framework that is suitable to formalise access control policies. It thus makes sense to use FOL to express the business rules in our examples as well.…”

“…In contrast, research in the computing logic field provides several models of business rules as logics built-in the programs (Antoniou & Arief, 2001;De Bosschere, 1998;Earls et al, 2002). In the business process engineering field, business rules are more or less viewed as the workflows (Hasselbring, 2000;Lee et al, 1999;Liu & Ong, 1999;Liu et al, 2002;Presley & Liles, 2001;Kardasis & Loucopoulos, 2005). Several research reports have provided more holistic views of business rules for enterprise information systems in terms of constraints, structures, processes, actions, behaviors, and/ or derivation (BRGF, 2000;Glykas & Valiris, 1999;Shao & Poud, 1999;Snoeck & Michiels, 2002), although there have been no reconcile definitions of these terms.…”

“…the core competencies in the fast-changing modern business environment (Scott-Morton, 1994). In terms of process information sharing, we specifically consider that an agile organization in a virtual enterprise adopts either of the following two methods in response to the changes of business environments: first, the internal business process is amended to meet newly proposed market or organizational constraints or to improve business operations from the advent of new technologies (Casati, 1998;Lee, 1999). Second, the business relationships with other collaborating organizations are modified due to the changes of mutual dependencies or external environments, and corresponding sharing policies are changed accordingly (Bakos, 1998;Chircu, 2000).…”
