The Workflow Management Coalition Standard WPDL: First Steps towards Formalization

| Description | WPDL (Workflow Process Definition Language) is a file format for exchanging process definitions between workflow management systems (WMS) and process modeling tools. It is a standard defined by the WfMC (Workflow Management Coalition) and was published in November 1998. Unfor-tunately, WPDL in its current status (V.1.1) lacks a formal definition. This is seen as one of the main reasons why WPDL is not yet widely supported by modeling tools and WMS. This paper makes a proposal how WPDL can be formalized using graph theory. It is explained how this formal model can be used in defining the flow semantics of WPDL and transformation algorithms between the different WPDL conformance classes. |
