An Approach to Deploying a Process Model Quickly

Abstract

Workflow technology has been frequently adopted by the applications of commerce, but only a few projects have been reported to consider workflow technology into non-business applications. In 2001, we constructed a workflow system to solve some traditional problems of departments in the universities. In order to deploy our workflow system to another department of similar request quickly, we propose an approach that constructs a Process Model Template and then reuses it. This paper describes what a process model template is and how to analyze and design a process model template. Finally, this paper demonstrates the implementation and reuse of a process model template.
