Adaptive Rich User Interfaces for Human Interaction in Business Processes

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 5802))

Abstract

In recent years, business process research has primarily focussed on optimization by automation, resulting in modeling and service orchestration concepts implying machine-to-machine communication. New standards for the integration of human participants into such processes have only recently been proposed [1,2]. However, they do not cover user interface development and deployment. There is a lack of concepts for rich business process UIs supporting flexibility, reusability and context-awareness. We address this issue with a concept for building human task presentations from service-oriented UIs. Those User Interface Services provide reusable, rich UI components and are selected, configured and exchanged with respect to the current context.
