Inter-organizational business processes can be designed top-down: starting from a global process model, where each activity and gateway is assigned to one of the participating organizations, local processes (or views/stubs for refinement) are generated for each organization. The resulting inter-organizational process is executed by the local processes in a fully distributed manner. Implementing the data-flow in such a scenario is highly complex, both because of the combinatorial explosion of possible solutions and because of conflicting goals for implementing the data-flow. We present a flexible, heuristic algorithm for implementing the data-flow for inter-organizational processes according to various user preferences, which significantly improves over the base-line approaches proposed so far. The approach is fully implemented and a comprehensive, multi-dimensional evaluation is provided.

优化组织间流程的数据流实现

组织间业务流程可以自上而下设计：从全局流程模型开始，其中每个活动和网关被分配给参与组织之一，为每个组织生成本地流程（或视图/存根以进行细化）。由此产生的组织间流程由本地流程以完全分布式的方式执行。在这种情况下实现数据流非常复杂，因为可能的解决方案的组合爆炸以及实现数据流的目标相互冲突。我们提出了一种灵活的启发式算法，用于根据各种用户偏好实现组织间流程的数据流，该算法显着改进了迄今为止提出的基线方法。该方法已得到全面实施和全面的、
