Enhancing Workflow Management through Semantic Structuring and Active Norms

Discover the 4S-WfM approach to Workflow Management, which utilizes semantic structuring and active norms for effective enterprise governance and resource management. This methodology empowers organizations to define and manage workflows through clear procedures and roles, ensuring that proper standards are maintained across business processes. By integrating master data and metadata, stakeholders can interactively participate in the workflow, ensuring adaptability and efficient resource metabolism. Build a stronger, more responsive business community with 4S-WfM's innovative techniques.

  4. Aff@ri: workflow definition by master-data Procedures (how) Workflow Roles (who) Norms (what) The workflow is defined inter-linking the 3 “forests” of master data

  5. Aff@ri: enterprise business & resources metabolism RESOURCES WHAT HOW TAKE PROCEDURE STANDARD ENTRUST WHO PARTY DEFINE PRESCRIBE ROLE PERSON PERFORMER EXECUTE MAKE PROCEEDING CONTENT ACTIVITY RESULT BUSINESS

  7. 4S-WfM: from the flow-chart Why return to the “flow charts”after decades of “structured programming”?

  8. 4S-WfM: to the BPM BPM (Business Process Model)

  9. 4S-WfM: to an ALT semi-structured tree Business Process Modeling in Abstract Logic Tree (ALT) (IBM China Research Lab) To map processes into BPEL4WS

  11. A n Production Norm of the Procedure 4S-WfM: late binding of the order-supply procedures Norms (1) and (2), of the “order procedure” (A), include as “party”: Order Procedure A 1 2 • “supply procedure”(C), of the same or other Enterprise. • “quittance norm” (4), assumed by the “return procedure” (E) (without its own norm) B C Supply Procedure 5 3 Return Procedure binding at “work-time” Supply Quittance E G 4 6

  12. 4S-WfM: content automation by web-services Active Norms provide some specified Pre/Post-Processing of the concerned Contents at “work-time”: Pre-Processing populates the Content from other application Post-Processing supplies the Content to other application Pre/Post-Processor can consume any useful Web-Service, from the Enterprise Information System or available on the cloud.

  13. 4S-WfM: very simple to implement and powerful to use • Simple user presentation and OODBMS mapping of the procedure tree, which integrate the “work & flow” definition, in each node. • Power users are able to create and modify the workflow definitions at “work time”, by simple editing of the concerned roles, norms and procedures (who does what and how). • Pre/Post-Condition of the procedures enable all fork-if/rendez-vous and loop in the workflow, through a simple “go up & down”, on the procedure tree. • Late binding of procedures enables dynamic supply-chain management, between roles or enterprises. • Active norms enable the workflow to “consume” any useful Web-Services, in a SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) environment. 4S-WfM supports both approaches to the BPM: project or procedure oriented.
