TL;DR: The authors propose using two distinct constructs to model workflow, the transaction and the task, which deal with the specification of the communication aspects of workflow, while the task deals with the required adaptability of workflow systems.

Abstract: The need for workflow management is apparent from the recent increase in the number of products (Lotus Note, SAP Business Workflow, Workmanager) that aim to support various business workflow features. However, a conceptual modeling or specification of workflow is paramount if workflows are to be managed. The authors propose using two distinct constructs to model workflow, the transaction and the task. The transaction deals with the specification of the communication aspects of workflow, while the task deals with the required adaptability of workflow systems. They demonstrate conceptual modeling of workflow using a real-life system in a hospital.

Tasks, cognitive agents, and KB-DSS in workflow and process management
René Jorna,W. van Wezel +1 more
TL;DR: A nonparametric interest rate term structure model is proposed and investigated, providing strong evidence that the traditional spot interest rate models and market prices of interest rate risk are severely misspecified and suggest that different model specifications have significant impact on term structure dynamics and prices ofinterest rate derivative securities.

Design Requirements of Office Systems
Giampio Bracchi,Barbara Pernici +1 more

TL;DR: In this paper, the main phases that are commonly recognized in the design of a conventional IS (such as requi rements analysis, requi verifications specification, logical design, optimization and implementation, system eval uatl on and. modification) can be transferred al so to OIS design, the conceptual models for requirements specifications, on which the early design phases are based, should instead be changed in order to allow the specification of particular aspects of an OIS.
