Abstract

This paper deals with the modelling and the dispatching of individual and collective work in a workflow system. It particularly, focuses on workflow processes of organizations where actors are organized by teams. In such a system, participants must interact with each other, coordinate, exchange informations, cooperate and synchronize their work. To do that, it is essential to define firstly, the way of dispatching individual and collective parts of work to all participants in the system. We describe some static and dynamic aspects of the system and we propose a simple algorithm for managing human resources at the runtime of the process. The algorithm aims to balance the workload between human actors in the system, it is based on a workload criteria computed according to the activities durations.
