More flexible Workflow Management Systems are required to support these constantly changing processes. In this research a platform independent architecture for the design of e-workflow systems is illustrated. The architecture includes an information pool, namely a Workflow Pattern Repository, which contains patterns, which are repeatable solutions toreoccurring problems, in order to make the system more apt to change and assist the workflow designer/user in defining workflows faster and more accurately. The patterns in the repository are in the form of UML activity diagram templates. A straightforward input format for storing patterns in the repository is provided along with an example of its practical application.  \nKEYWORDS  \nWorkflow, e-workflow, e-business, Workflow Design Patterns, Pattern Repository, Workflow Architecture, Exceptions.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nIn today’s globalised consumer society, businesses continuously have to adapt to changes in their environment in order to remain competitive or even survive. The phenomenon is even greater in e-business where technology and trends change even more rapidly. E-companies have to manage frequent organisational change and alter their business processes. This means they must constantly modify their workflow which requires flexible workflow management systems.  \nA workflow management system \"completely defines, manages and executes'workflows' through the execution of software whose order of execution is driven by a computer representation of the workflow logic\"[1] . A workflow or workflow model is a definite description of a business process represented in such a way that it can be directly executed by a workflow management system [2] .  \nWorkflow systems embody explicit process and product models, i.e., a completely specified workflow design is required that can be modified to reflect the changes in organizations whenever they occur. A major limitation of traditional workflow systems is that they can, typically, only support simple, static and predictable processes, but not the dynamically changing and complex processes that are present in many contemporary e-business organisations [3] . This drawback of traditional workflow systems is an evident fact in modern businesses where workflows are often executed simultaneously, requiring interaction between them and where problems arise during the execution of a workflow that have to be handled properly.  \nConsequently e-workflow modelling must provide process support like traditional workflows do, but in such a way that the system is intelligent enough to deal with the new Internet business environment that is characterised by rapid, dynamic and discontinuous change. Previous research for tackling the limitations of traditional workflow systems has been presented in brief in a previous paper [3, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20] . Our proposed approach to a flexible e-workflow modelling system is based on the extensive use of design patterns.  \nWorkflow design patterns can be seen as generalised solutions to recurring problems within the context of e-business. Tried and tested solutions can be reused to solve recurring problems within e-business environment that is characterised by many uncertainties and var","cbCaiuux2Hdn5e4t","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuux2Hdn5e4t","pdf",260886,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Workflow management and workflow models\n## Limitations of traditional workflow systems\n## Role of design patterns in e-workflow modelling\n# Proposed architecture and pattern repository\n## Workflow and ERP systems","[{\"question\":\"Why are flexible workflow management systems needed in e-business?\",\"answer\":\"E-business environments change rapidly, requiring businesses to continually adjust workflow processes and handle interactions and exceptions during execution.
