Context and Planning for Dynamic Adaptation in PAIS

摘要

The need for constant adaptation to address emerging demands or undesired events within organizations has grown. Unplanned situations may occur at any time during process execution and the design of a process model that predicts all paths should give place to flexible 'organic' design. This paper addresses the problem of how to provide mechanisms for dynamic adaptation in Process-Aware Information Systems. On top of a theory for context-aware information systems, we propose a context management framework that aims to automate dynamic process adaptation by re-planning a process instance. The proposal was partially implemented and evaluated in a real case scenario.
