Abstract

Integrating information systems with tools that manage workflows and business processes is not always a simple task. This difficulty becomes more accentuated when the execution control assumes countless business processes. This work presents NavigationPlanTool (NPTool), a tool to control the execution of business processes that can be easily integrated into the information systems. NPTool is supported by Navigation Plan Definition Language (NPDL), a language for business processes specification that uses process algebra as formal foundation. NPTool implements the NPDL language as a SQL extension and offers two other important services: processes instantiation and process instances execution monitor. This paper describes the NPTool showing how the process algebra features combined with a relational database model can be used to provide a scalable and reliable control in the execution of business processes.
