The framework needs two kinds of algorithms - One is for generating the total sequences of the control-paths from a workflow model, and the other is for rediscovering the runtime enactment history of each control-path out of the total sequences from the corresponding workflow's execution logs. Eventually, these rediscovered knowledge and history of a workflow model make up a control-path oriented intelligence of the workflow model, which ought to be an essential ingredient for improving the quality of the workflow model. Based upon the workflow intelligence, it is possible for the workflow model to be gradually refined and finally maximize its quality by repeatedly redesigning, reengineering and/or refining during its whole life-long time period. And, this paper describes not only propose of control-path oriented mining algorithm but also implementation of control-path oriented workflow intelligence analysis and mining system.

Based upon these emerging issues, we have been developing a registry-based global workflow management system, which is named ’e-Lollapalooza Global Workflow Management System,’ especially targeting on the electronic logistics/commerce markets. The e-Lollapalooza consists of four components: e-Lollapalooza Builder, e-Lollapalooza Miner, e-Lollapalooza Actor and e-Lollapalooza Enactor. This paper deals with the e-Lollapalooza Builder, a registry-based global workflow modeling system, that defines cross-organizational workflows for e-logistics and e-commerce. The e-Lollapalooza Builder can be characterized by the concept of registry that is similar to ebXML’s except registering inter-organizational workflows formatted in WPDL/XPDL. So, the registry component of the e-Lollapalooza Builder plays an important role in interconnecting workflow engines deployed in the associated organizations. We develop the builder by Java language and EJB framework approach so as to be deployed on various platforms without any further technical consideration. And its major components are the EJB-based DB component, graphical global-workflow modeler, organizational dependency analysis algorithm, organization, relevant data, invoked application, repository, and the registry component. The system is fully deployable and operable on EJB-based computing environment. In this paper, we describe detailed features of the e-Lollapalooza Builder in terms of conceptual and functional perspectives.
