Abstracting Synchronization Process in Workflow Involving Partial Synchronization Pattern

Article Preview

Abstract:

For the partial synchronization problem in integration of workflow process model with data model, this paper develops an algorithm through synchronization edges to get synchronization processes. Firstly, a workflow model called RTWD net is introduced. Then the concepts of synchronization edge, process, synchronization process, base process, process tree, data type and trace-set of types is given. Finally, an algorithm for abstracting the synchronization process and a case study is presented.
