Abstract

Workflow Management Systems need to support organizations adapt their workflows to meet changing environments and business processes. We propose a traceability based knowledge management approach to support such a capability in WFMS. We present a framework for representing traceability knowledge to capture the context in which workflows are specified and evolved. We discuss the functionalities of a knowledge management system that can support dynamic reconfiguration of workflows in the context of changing business processes as well as for maintaining their integrity.
