Abstract

Policy-based management and process-based management are two main management paradigms that are widely used in information management systems. The foundation of traditional WfMS is process-based management. In this paper we present a process meta model to support policy based management in WfMS. With the new meta model the system has better flexibility in workflow design time and higher adaptability at run-time. It can also keep the business rules consistent across the whole enterprise and provide a uniform method to deal with business rules, resources and security in workflow system.
