The description of enterprise activities is the basis fur process improvement and information system building. To describe such activities, it is necessary to model the enterprise activities from the abstraction level to the implementation level in a stepwise and integrated form. For this reason, several modeling approaches have been proposed. However, most of them lacked the stepwise or integration aspects although some of them covered overall levels. This study proposes the hierarchical modeling approach for integrating the enterprise activity model from the abstraction level to the implementation level systematically. It is composed of five modeling levels such as function level, process level, task level, document workflow level, and event flow level. This study discusses the definition and characteristics of each level and compare our modeling frame with other modeling methodologies in case study.

Recently, there are two important research trends in the literature the red-time collaborative computing end electronic business process automation. This paper is one of those efforts that would establish an effective business office working and computing environment hough the integration of those two cutting-edge technologies. That is, we try to develop a workflow modeling tool that is semantically based upon the information control net(ICN), which is a typical workflow model for specifying office work procedures(business processes), and that is systemically based upon the real-time collaborative operations by a set of actors, which is called group, We name it "group ICN editor". This paper describes the design and implementation of the group ICN editor that is operable under the real-time collaborative computing environment. We use the Flexible rJAMM toolkit that enables the ICN editor to operate among multiple actors(group) through the event-driven collaboration platform, Consequently, a set of workflow and business processes defined through this editor is not only stored onto database but also transformed into the format of the workflow process definition language(WPDL) that is a standardized workflow description and specification language proposed by the workflow management coalition(WfMC).ion(WfMC).

This paper is to introduce the definition and background of EDMS and present real customer project in manufacturing industry as reference. EDMS has DM, Workflow, Imaging and COLD as key components and should be interconnected with many advanced technology, such as SAP, PDM and KMS. Managing and controlling documents is an important part of business success. The number of electronic documents in use in the workplace is escalating rapidly, making it difficult for conventional IT systems to take full advantage of the benefits of digital documentation "A"company implemented DM and Workflow based on groupware So, all of SPECs and drawings could be easily stored and accessed via LMS. Also, the cycletime of ECN/DCN process could be reduced to one or two days from one or two weeks more The overhead resources from the managing documents and involving with work process could be re-deployed to the more productive positions and the increasing of revenue is expected soon because of the competitiveness. "A"company is expected to have more benefits, that is, lots of tangible and intangible benefits from now on.

Currently there are a variety of different tools may be used to analyze, model, describe and document a business process. However, it is difficult to exchange the information of a business process created in different tools because of the distinct information formats used in different tools. The XML Process Definition Language (XPDL) of the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) forms a common interchange standard that enables products to continue to support arbitrary internal representations of process definitions with an import/export function to map to/from the standard at the product boundary. Generally a business process model can be represented by the UML activity diagram, but there is a difficult task to directly generate an XPDL document from a business process model represented by the standard activity diagram. In the paper we will propose an approach to generate an XPDL document from a business process model represented by the extended UML activity diagram.

As recent business environments are changed and become complex, a more efficient and effective business process management are needed. This paper proposes a new approach to the automatic execution of business processes using Event-Condition-Action (ECA) rules that can be automatically triggered by an active database. First of all, we propose the concept of blocks that can classify process flows into several patterns. A block is a minimal unit that can specify the behaviors represented in a process model. An algorithm is developed to detect blocks from a process definition network and transform it into a hierarchical tree model. The behaviors in each block type are modeled using ACTA formalism. This provides a theoretical basis from which ECA rules are identified. The proposed ECA rule-based approach shows that it is possible to execute the workflow using the active capability of database without users' intervention.

Based on the design of the LIS of GuangZhou and BeiJing, this paper discusses the resolution of the LIS with the kernel of process management. It applies the idea of workflow in the management supporting stratum, applies the process-oriented mechanism in the definition, coordination, supervision and control of the management process. The scheme has the character of information-media-oriented, work process dynamic changing supported, application system extended and restructure supported and is independent of the running environment of specific work.. Due to the previous character, the LIS is flexible, useable, elastic and able to support the dynamic application.

As a computerized application for controlling enterprise processes, BPM(Business Process Management) has been received such concerns that many solution vendors developed their own process definition and storage methods. The fact causes the needs of process modeling standards for process model exchange and at the same time, requires the appropriate methodology for adopting the global standards. In this paper, we propose a transformation methodology of BPMN-based file into XMI(XML Metadata Interchange)-based neutral file format. We devised translation templates for 21 workflow patterns, and compared the results with BPEL4WS(Business Process Execution Language for Web Services) translation. As a result, our XMI transformation model enables more complete translation of process model in comparison with existing model, and thus can be practically utilized to the BPM vendors adopting BPMN standards.

The workflow, one of core features for modern business operation, models common elements and their relationships in business processes. The research is focused on how to adapt the workflow model to the healthcare examination which becomes popular these days. Especially, we intend to have fully automated process for healthcare examination by providing customers with PDA with RFTD chip. In order to realize this goal, this paper proposes the design of software architectures the class structures, and the definition of messages used for the system interactions. In other word, the paper shows the analysis of healthcare application in terms of service scenario and the design of workflow engine ant ubiquitous healthcare application under the Object-Oriented programming environment. the The result of the study may also enable the unmanned healthcare examination as well as ubiquitous based healcare examination sooner or later.

본 논문에서는, 워크플로우 모델링에 사용하는 ICN(Information Control Net)을 위한 자바 기반의 워크플로우 모델링 도구의 설계 및 구현에 관하여 기술하였다. 특히, 본 워크플로우 모델링 도구는 기존의 워크플로우 모델링 도구들과는 달리, 인터넷 기반의 실시간 그룹웨어 기술을 통해 일련의 사용자 그룹이 동시에 워크플로우를 모델링 할 수 있는 기능을 제공하고 있다. 즉, 기존의 워크플로우 모델링 기능에 실시간 그룹웨어 특성들을 통합함으로써, 한 차원 높은 수준의 모델링 환경을 제공하고, 이를 통하여 기존의 워크플로우 시스템들이 지원하지 못했던 조직 내의 구성원들간의 협동 작업을 실시간으로 지원할 수 있을 뿐 만 아니라, 요즘과 같이 대형화와 복잡화 그리고 다양화의 특징을 갖는 조직내의 워크플로우(또는 사무업무 프로세스)들에 대한 효율적인 분석 및 모델링 환경을 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다. 또한, 본 도구를 통한 모델링 결과는 WPDL(Workflow Process Definition Language)라는 국제 표준화 워크플로우 정의 언어로 저장됨으로써, 기존의 다른 워크플로우 시스템들과의 상호 호환성을 제공하고자 하였다.
