Workflow management systems usually interpret a workflow definition rigidly. However, there are real life situations where
users should be allowed to deviate from the prescribed static workflow definition for various reasons, including lack of information,
unavailability of the required resources and unanticipated situations. Furthermore, workflow complexity may grow exponentially
if all possible combinations of anticipated scenarios must be compiled into the workflow definition. To flexibilize workflow
execution and help reduce workflow complexity, this paper proposes a dual strategy that combines a library of predefined typical
workflows with a planner mechanism capable of incrementally synthesizing new workflows, at execution time. This dual strategy
is motivated by the difficulty of designing emergency plans, modeled as workflows, which account for real-life complex crisis
or accident scenarios. |
