Abstract:
In this paper, an approach based on interorganizational WorkFlow nets and on possibilistic Petri nets is proposed
to deal with communication failures in business processes. Routing patterns and communication protocols
existing in business processes are modeled by interorganizational WorkFlow nets. Possibilistic Petri
nets with uncertainty on the marking and on the transition firing are considered to express in a more realistic
way the uncertainty attached to communication failures. Combining both formalisms, a kind of possibilistic
interorganizational WorkFlow net is obtained. An example of communication failure at a process monitoring
level that precedes the presentation of a paper at a conference is presented.
