Abstract

This paper presents configurable resource definitions based on feature models which can be used by domain experts without the immediate assistance of IT-experts. They are part of an approach to ease the handling of automated constraint-based scheduling systems in medical facilities by non-IT-experts with treatment process models defined in the BPMN workflow-language. These resource objects can be interactively configured by the end-users to describe the available resources (rooms, devices) and staff in their environment which can then be used in activities specified in the treatment models. The configured resource objects and the BPMN models can then be automatically transformed into resource scheduling CSPs.
