Abstract :
Activity instance oriented handling is a new means for vertical optimization of process cases. Unlike our previous batch processing mechanism in workflows, it focuses on the data characteristics of activity instances and utilizes explicit knowledge for planning. This paper introduces its concept and proposes activity instance pattern to model and represent the knowledge for execution optimization. A flexible and intelligent workflow enactment framework for activity instance oriented handling is also proposed and investigated.
