This research has proposed the DPWFM framework that
allows web services related to work practices to be
dynamically compiled into workflow web applications.
These applications are then assigned to staff in an
organization. DPWFM has integrated the decision making
process of business process management with information
technologies to provide facilities to each functional unit of
an organization to tailor their workflow requirements. Staff
in the organization is permitted to access, control, and
customize their workflow requirements according to the
organization rules and policies.
Our next immediate goal is to evaluate the effectiveness
of DPWFM. DPWFM is currently being investigated in a
pilot study to study the BPM requirement of a healthcare
sector in Australia. Preliminary observations show that
DPWFM is able to provide significantly improvement in
workflow performance for healthcare providers.
