Abstract
During crises such as COVID-19, there is a need to adapt existing work processes and teams to the changing environment in a very flexible and dynamic way in many business and healthcare organizations. In this paper, we conceptualize the advances required for Process-Oriented Case-Based Reasoning to flexibly and dynamically organize human resources in a team and work processes. The novel contributions of this paper include an extended case representation to represent resources, profiles, and key performance indicators (KPIs) of processes, a query definition which covers the “context”, and an overall process to flexibly and dynamically organize work processes and human resources. We evaluate the FlexiTeam process using a cooking recipe casebase and analyze the quality of the retrieval using a quality measure. We also derive the research questions that need to be addressed to fully explore this approach and the specific difficulties involved in solving this problem.
