Abstract: This paper presents a novel method to analyze the timing constraints in term of quantitative temporal relationships among activities in the workflow.In the proposed method,the workflow net is converted into a set of event-condition-action(ECA)rules.Atiming constraints graph for the workflow is constructed and the consistency of the quantitative temporal constraints among activities can be checked based on this graph.

Key words: workflow, timing constraints, event-condition-action(ECA)rule, activity, event
