A Formal Representation of Collaborative Electronic Commerce Systems by Workflow Nets

Article Preview

Abstract:

Combining the advantages of logical workflow nets and colored Petri nets, logical and colored workflow nets and collaborative logical and colored workflow nets are presented to facilitate the modeling of cooperative electronic commerce systems. The formal representation presented in this paper can not only describe the data objects, but also represent passing value indeterminacy and batch processing function of cooperative electronic commerce systems.
