Towards Case-Based Adaptation of Workflows

摘要

Creation and adaptation of workflows is a difficult and costly task that is currently performed by human workflow modeling experts. Our paper describes a new approach for the automatic adaptation of workflows, which makes use of a case base of former workflow.adaptations. We propose a general framework for case-based adaptation of workflows and then focus on novel methods to represent and reuse previous adaptation episodes for workflows. An empirical evaluation demonstrates the feasibility of the approach and provides valuable insights for future research.
