some tasks may depend on the coordination between various organizations in the
disposal process of an accident. So monitoring and commanding the task-flow
during the process is needed. In this study, firstly, we analyze the basic principles
and define task-flow model in cross-organization emergency response system.
Then we design and develop a visual tool to manage and monitor cross-organization
workflow, tasks operations and cooperative control relationships among different
organizations. The study introduces the architecture and the basic functions
of the tool in detail and illustrates the feature technologies, such as the
synchronization mechanism between different workflow editors, multi-view representations
of workflow, workflow recommendation and dynamic monitoring over tasks
execution statuses, etc. Finally, the study shows the significance and value
of the tool in the emergency disposal process of a coal mine accident instance.]]>WfMC,19961996Georgakopoulos, D., M. Hornick and A. Sheth,19953119153Chrysanthis, P. and K.
