System RAPORT Why ontology based workflow

management in system RAPORT? Process of military exercise Workflow of administrative process

in army training centers Basic functions of system RAPORT Ontology Model Architecture of system RAPORT

System RAPORT designed for a pilot application – organization of

military exercise in a Centrum of Simulation Technologies (CST) National Academy of Defense(NAD) in Liptovský Mikuláš (Slovakia)

CST organizes several overlapping military exercises during a training year problems with large amount of documents and e-mails problems with knowledge management problems with time management

knowledge system based on e-mail communications and a web portal

Why ontology based workflow management in the system RAPORT? improves the quality of work

the large amount of documents and e-mails has to be processed

this kind of work requires the broad knowledge of rules goal: error-proof administrative processes

saves the processing cost goal: avoid duplicities in user actions

time savings documents can be quickly reused and processed

according to its ontological description user never needs to manually find related document proposed system will inform user about the progress of

current workflow activity goal: effective document access and activities

overview

Process of Military Exercise

1. determine the content, topics, tasks and targets of military exercise

2. preparing the scenarios of military exercise, simulation and technical plans, digital maps of terrain, etc.

3. performs by SW, which simulates military actions of officers

4. errors evaluation of military actions

bojová dokum entác ia - "červení" workflow process is modelled by activities

every activity is described by its input/output (usually documents) and persons

the state of the workflow is defined by the context (activities, documents, persons)

Basic functions of system RAPORT

Knowledge management collect experience from users by using Active Notes present experience to other users working in similar context

by Active Notes

Schedule management check current training plans for important deadlines

Templates distribution prepare necessary information (predefined e-mails,

documents, formulas, …) before deadlines with user’s awareness

Teamwork support support user’s experience exchange and collaboration

RAPORT ontology

Workflow model description of workflow

activities and events

User model description of users working
