Business process specification and enactment for context-aware environments

The traditional techniques developed to deal with the issues in business process improvement don´t meet the current and future organizations requirements. The existing methods are technology/fixed business process centric and not user-centric. The systems that can recognize the context of the user can bring great benefits especially enabling businesses to run more efficiently from any location. In this paper, we are proposing a framework that can be used to recognize the context of the user using his mobile device and Bluetooth technology while deploying a business process using a workflow engine. The framework can contribute toward building more intelligent systems able to act according to the user context. We have developed a system as case study to test and evaluate the applicability of the framework.
