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 execution optimization. This paper introduces its concept and investigates its modeling and enactment mechanisms. It uses activity instance pattern as a base to model and represent the knowledge for execution optimization. The system design for activity instance oriented handling and related algorithms are also proposed.
