Abstract

The analysis of workflow meta models aims at a problem that frequently occurs during the selection of a workflow management system - evaluating the capabilities of a modeling method. In this paper a meta model approach for the evaluation of different workflow management systems is introduced. After a comparison of the meta models of current workflow management systems a procedure model for the evaluation process is specified. An organizational reference model is introduced, which helps users in specifying their requirements for a workflow management system. A comparison of scoring model- and meta model-based evaluation processes concludes this paper.
