Abstract

Interorgnizational workflow is a new technique that offers companies a solution for managing business processes that involve more than one organization. The business process in a single organization can be modeled using a special kind of Petri nets: Workflow nets. In this paper, the interorganizational workflow will be modeled in terms of level Petri Nets, a new extension of the Petri net model that will allow us specify both the local workflows in the organizations involved in the business process, and the communication structure between them We also address the problem of verification and we introduce tha notion of soundness for interorganizational workflows.
