ESProNa: Constraint-Based Declarative Business Process Modeling
Vitória, Brazil
October 25-October 29

In this paper we describe how declarative process modeling together with ontologies can be used to build complex clinical process models. Our approach supports the definition of functional, behavioral, organizational, data and operational process perspectives, resulting in an expressive and flexible modeling language. We use constraints for representing inter-process dependencies and constraint propagation for finding which processes are executable in user selected or given scenarios. Knowledge about the organizational perspective of a clinical ontology can be represented and imported from RDF files for interfacing with other applications. We implemented our approach in ESProNa, a Log talk application running on SWI-Prolog extended with the CLP(FD) constraint library and the N3 parser Henry.
