Abstract: Cross-organizational workflow is widely used because it can use resources of different enterprises efficiently and therefore brings higher throughput. However, how to protect enterprises’ private business processes without affecting their ability to interact with other partners is an important issue in cross-organizational workflow. Workflow views are considered a promising approach to selectively hide details of private workflows, while providing a process-oriented interface. The concept of active workflow view was introduced, a framework for cross-organizational workflow monitoring based on active workflow view was proposed, and the active monitoring in cross-organizational workflows was discussed.

Key words: cross-organizational workflow, monitor, active workflow view

摘要： 跨组织工作流可以有效的利用不同企业的资源,提高企业的生产率,因而得到了越来越广泛的应用。如何使企业在增强对外交互能力的同时,保护企业内部的敏感信息,是跨组织工作流应用中的重要问题。工作流视图能有选择的隐藏企业私有工作流的细节,同时对外提供面向过程的接口,是一种有效的实现跨组织工作流的方法。在引入主动工作流视图概念的基础上,提出基于主动工作流视图的跨组织工作流管理和监控的体系结构,探讨了跨组织工作流的主动监控及其实现。
