Abstract:
Business processes design and implementation within a company are mainly based on the specification of actors and their different tasks. Data and general information are transmitted in a very specific organization among actors, applications and the information system, which constitute a workflow. In this paper, we present an approach for workflow process modeling. The model is in charge of representing both control flow and shared data in the workflow process, and it can be analysed to verify its correctness before implementation. This workflow modeling approach has been implemented into $Opus$ system that provides a set of graphical interfaces to model and execute the business process tasks. The system also provides a workflow engine that grants automatic workflow processing by interpreting the workflow process.
