Workflow Modeling Process - A Novel Perspective

A novel method of formalizing the workflow abstraction modeling process is proposed based on interactive learning process of Perception Abstraction. Fundamental workflow perception is proposed to perceive the specific workflow of a particular field, by generating the set of workflow instance perceptions, which are induced from tracking to creating Fundamental Work Perception Class process. For the workflow instance perceptions with the same work type in FWPC, this paper provides workflow abstraction perception to aggregate them into three classes which are abstract class and generate Abstract Work Perception Class (AWPC) and Abstract Work Relation Class (AWRC). The workflow abstraction model is formally defined. The automatic constructing of a workflow abstraction model is described based on, AWPC and AWRC.
