Abstract

Advances in Information Technology have created opportunities for business enterprises to redesign their information and process management systems. The redesigned systems will likely employ some form of workflow management system. This is not surprising since businesses in any segment, can benefit from workflow management. Workflow management systems exactly enact business processes described in a process description language. Despite the advertising claims of many companies, current workflow systems require a software developer to construct the workflows using a process description language. In order to make this task easier, in this paper we describe an algorithm for automatic generation of workflow that uses Artificial Planning Techniques. Moreover, we present a case of study based on the implementation developed.
