  • Abstract
    Workflow management systems (WfMS) allow organizations to streamline and automate business processes and reengineer their structure. One important requirement for this type of system is the management and computation of the quality of service (QoS) of processes and workflows. Currently, a range of Web processes and workflow languages exist. Each language can be characterized by the set of patterns they support. Developing and implementing a suitable and generic algorithm to compute the QoS of processes that have been designed using different languages is a difficult task. This is because some patterns are specific to particular process languages and new patterns may be introduced in future versions of a language. In this paper, we describe an adaptive algorithm implemented to cope with these two problems. The algorithm is called adaptive since it can be dynamically changed as the patterns of a process language also change.
