Research

I have been working with the YAWL (Yet Another Workflow Language) system environment since 2005, and I'm currently its 'lead architect' - directly responsible for the ongoing development and maintenance of the YAWL system. I've designed, developed and implemented two core YAWL services: the Worklet Service, which adds the dimensions of flexibility, dynamic change and automated exception handling to YAWL processes; and the Resource Service, which provides for resource allocation and task routing, integrating a built-in worklist handler and administration tools (also see Publications). YAWL is a fully open-sourced system, which can be downloaded via the project's SourceForge page.

My extended research areas include:

· Business process flexibility

· Business process extensibility

· Business process exception handling

· Business process modelling

· Business process analysis

· Process monitoring

· Service Oriented Architectures

· Activity Theory

· Web services
