A Hybrid Method for Constructing Semi-structural Process in Knowledge-Intensive Information System

Recent research on processes in information system has revealed that processes in prevalent fields present to be semi-Structural. It seems to be structural at the process layer, but in the enacting time, executive situation might change due to various reasons. To solve that, in this paper, we illustrate how the flexibility of construction processes can be handled using a hybrid method. At structural layer, we construct the process in imperative way, whereas at the lower level, we decompose tasks into fine-grained operations, and declaratively perceive operation sequence. Moreover, we propose a prototype tool for constructing and enacting semi-Structural business processes.
