Business process modeling for administrative activities — Analyzing dynamic behavior

Abstract

Out of the workflow representations that are excellent to model business processes this paper examines the possibilities of the p-graph-based workflow modeling for administrative activities. Taking the special requirements of document management into account it gives a possible solution for document processing, the more reality like modeling of activities and resources. This paper introduces special descriptors for the various document types, activities and resources. Thus making the p-graph based workflow modeling more applicable for the modeling of administrative processes. Beyond the static examinations the extension of the p-graph-based model enables the analysis of dynamic behavior and the analysis of process executions.
