Abstract
To provide intelligent process management support in complex engineering domains, considerable advances in the flexibility of current workflow systems are necessary. We describe an approach to developing such flexibility based on the capture of process patterns within a particular domain, and the dynamic composition of such patterns to determine the structure of an overall process. The role of a formal ontology of the domain in maintaining internal consistency of processes being managed in this way is emphasized
