A/Prof Arthur ter Hofstede’s visit at DSV

Last week A/Prof Arthur ter Hofstede from QUT visited us at DSV. Arthur is co-leader of the Business Process Management group (BPM) at the Faculty of Information
Technology at the Queensland University of
Technology (QUT) in Brisbane,
Australia.
Together with Prof. Wil van der Aalst from TUE and QUT, he is leading the work
of the Workflow Patterns Initiative and the work on development and
implementation of the language YAWL. I started cooperating with Arthur’s research
group during my postdoc studies and I have visited QUT a numerous
times since 2001 (latest in May this year). Our cooperation is on suitability analysis of
languages and standards for Business Process Management. Earlier results
include analyses of BML, BPEL4WS, UMN2.0 AD and BPMN. During Arthur’s visit we continued
working on an analysis of two open source workflow management systems.
