A Proposal of Change Type 'Selective Shift' for Flexible Dynamic Workflow Changes

摘要

In this paper, we propose a new change type, named Selective Shift, which realizes flexible and efficient dynamic change of workflows. In the dynamic change, it is important how the cases being processed according to an old workflow are handled. The conventional change types handle the cases collectively, while Selective Shift, can handle the cases separately. Therefore, Selective Shift makes dynamic change more flexible than the other change types, and can make dynamic change more efficient by handling the cases appropriately. Based on the concept of Selective Shift, we also present its execution procedure. Finally, we show the comparison results between Selective Shift and the other change types by using the change time of 90 dynamic changes.
