We introduce the ActivityFlow specification language for incremental specification and flexible coordination of workflow activities. The most interesting features of the ActivityFlow specification language include (1) a collection of specification mechanisms, which provides a workflow designer with a uniform workflow specification interface to describe difFerent types (i.e., ad-hoc, administrative, or production) of workflows involved in their organizational processes, and helps to increase the flexibility of workflow processes in accommodating changes; (2) a set of activity modeling facilities, which enables the workflow designer to describe the flow of work declaratively and incrementally, allowing reasoning about correctness and security of complex workflow activities independently from their underlying implementation mechanisms; (3) an open architecture that supports user interaction as well as collaboration of workflow systems of different organizations.Read the full paper here: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/3-540-63699-4_14
