Workflow com técnicas de planejamento apoiado em inteligência artificial

Abstract

This work presents a new approach that uses Artificial Intelligence Planning techniques in the development of a Workflow Modelling System. This approach concentrates on the field of process modelling. The planning tool is used to automatically generate models of consistent processes. The modeled processes usually have activities that split the flow into more than one possible branch. The use of planner to perform this modelling process, exacts conditional plans. This work presents algorithms give rise to conditional plans when using classic planners. Finally, experiments are carried out to measure the efficiency and effectiveness of these algorithms, and the results are compared to those of a contingent state-of-the-art planner.
