Resource Modeling and Analysis for Workflows with Task Failures: A Petri Net Approach
报告人: Jiacun Wang 教授, 蒙莫斯大学,美国
摘要: In many situations, Business processes are often constrained by scarce resources. The lack of resources can cause contention among tasks and slow down the accomplishment of larger goals. This presentation discusses a Petri net based approach for recourse requirements analysis, which can be used for more general purposes. The concept of resource- oriented workflow nets (ROWN) is introduced and the transition firing rules of ROWN are presented. Resource requirements for general workflow can be done through reachability analysis. For a class of well-structured workflows, an efficient resource analysis algorithm is developed. Task falures are also considered in resource requirement analysis.
