The method provides a d归自ruc hierarchical way to define a workf1ow with non-detenninate or dynamic factors. With this method , the main process defined at build-time can be reified and extended by the principle of the sub-organizations at either the build -ti皿巳 or the run-time. To ensure the consistency and integrity of the description , a series of constraint rules are also discus且d to realize seamless integration between a decomposed process and its original one. This approach supports the description of unprectictable uncertainties , the dynamic hierarchy of busine8s prc阻挡~ and 由e dynamic modlfication of ente叩rise organizations, and all of these improve 由efl目ibility and extendability of worktlow management systems dramatically Key words: flexible workflow; dynamic hierarchy description; task d四omposition; split process 民飞2咀nt workflow manageml巳nt systems have to model based on a sub-process.
