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 and the
failure to recognize relevant situations in time. The main goal
of our research project ProFlow is to leverage situation
awareness in all phases of workflow management especially
focusing on dynamic spatial systems as encountered, e.g., in the
domain of road traffic management. ProFlow thereby bases on
a generic ontology-driven framework for situation perception
and comprehension. This paper details on the corresponding
ontological representations especially addressing extension
points that allow developers to extend and configure our
framework for their own application domains. This forms the
basis for the overall system architecture, which is laid out along
its prototypical implementation.
