Towards a Goal-oriented Framework for the Automatic Synthesis of Underspecified Activities in Dynamic Processes

It is difficult to produce a detailed model of a dynamic process ahead of time. Such processes may include some underspecified activities whose exact definition is not yet known at design-time, and may not be known until the time that an instance of the process has started execution, due to their context-dependent nature. In this paper, we propose a goal-oriented framework to model and specify dynamic processes that allows us to dynamically select and/or synthesize automatically at run-time the content of underspecified activities.
