Original Kurzfassung:
Business processes face constantly changing context factors like varying customer behavior or market
conditions that force to adapt the underlying workflows to these evolving situations. Information overload
induced by the diversity of context factors, however, leads to the inability to provide coherently modeled,
comprehensible, and re-usable workflows, the failure to recognize relevant situations in time, and finally,
the lack of provenance information urgently needed for optimizing workflows. The main goal of our
research project WorkAware is to leverage situation awareness in all phases of business process
management. WorkAware will be based on a generic ontology-driven framework for situation perception,
comprehension and projection and will employ aspect-oriented techniques for achieving extensible
workflow models and tracking of provenance information.
