This approach is well suited for routine tasks which are processed repeatedly and which are described by a predefined control flow. In contrast, knowledge-intensive work is more goal and data-driven and less control-flow oriented. Knowledge workers need the flexibility to decide dynamically at run-time and based on current context information on the best next process step to achieve a given goal. Obviously, in most practical scenarios, these decisions are complex and cannot be anticipated and modeled completely in a predefined process model. Therefore, adaptive and dynamic process management techniques are necessary to augment the control-flow oriented part of process management (which is still a need also for knowledge workers) with flexible, context-dependent, goaloriented support.}, language = {en} }
