Aim:
Report on the implications of existing models, languages, standard and systems of workflows for their likely contribution to the research and education sector over next 5-10 years.
Goals:
- Investigate similarities and differences between different types of workflow models, languages, specifications, in particular process- or people oriented systems, in particular contrast to e-Learning or research activity workflows.
- Propose a meta model or language for people-oriented workflows
- Propose new or extended specifications for the new model/language
- Report on lessons learned from e-Learning or research activity workflow development
- Look into "Fusion" of XACML and Workflow systems (how we could do it)
Tasks:
- Identify research goals
- Identify research materials (theory, models, languages, frameworks, open source libraries and systems, commercial products)
- Identify research methodology (literature search and comparison, testing software, requirement gathering, determining research criteria, determine focus of evaluation, analyses methods - ontology, categorization, etc.)
- Identify research deliverables (forms to deliver)
- Conduct research on the goals stated, considering both existing and lacking
- Prepare deliverables
- Deliver outcomes
- Raise awareness on workflow and deliverables (organizing on-line information, workshops or conferences, giving presentations in workshops or conferences)
- Disseminate final outcomes
Deliverables:
- Research papers on LAMS/RAMS and human Workflow
- White papers on human workflows and its position in e-Learning/e-Research
- If appropriate, propose a model, language, standard
- "Fusion" proposal between LAMS/RAMS and XACML
