Abstract :
The agility property of interorganizational workflow is one of the critical success factors in the business collaboration. Based on Petri nets, the agility analysis framework of interorganizational workflow with four layers is proposed. And the two evaluation indices of the agility property of interorganizational workflow are presented. The element agility index focuses on the analysis of elements number in the interorganizational workflow, and the connection stability index is introduced to investigate the dependency relation among workflow elements. At last, an application example is given
