An Integrated Approach for Flexible Workflow Modeling

Yongjie Ren, Kam-Fai Wong, Boon Toh Low

Abstract: This paper proposes an integrated workflow model known as the Multi-Agent Workflow Model (MAWM). MAWM was designed to offer high flexibility in business process modeling. The central idea of MAWM is based on our conventional business perspective about labor division and cooperation. This idea is reflected in the concept agent-workflow. MAWM includes three sub-models, namely organization, process and data sub-models. Activity-based and communication-based methods are integrated in the process sub-model. They are used to model different types of business activities.
