管理过程控制系统：工作流思想的一种新的应用模式

提出的管理过程控制系统将工作流思想应用于较低层次的管理支撑层。它采用面向信息流框架的机制来定义、协调、监督和控制管理过程，并使系统本身能独立于应用系统而存在，从而解放了应用系统的开发环境，摆脱了复杂、动态的流程和传统工作流管理系统中受过程定义模型约束的限制。该系统还具有运行时间步协作、信息继承和基于过程实例的动态流程控制的功能，可以作为企业信息设施的一个基础部件，支持工作流在复杂过程管理环境中的应用。

MANAGEMENT PROCESS CONTROL SYSTEM: A NEW APPLICATION OF THE IDEOLOGY OF WORKFLOW

The management process control system (MPCS) presented in this paper applies the ideology of workflow to the lower management supporting layer. It uses the mechanism that is oriented to information frame to define, coordinate, supervise and control the management process. Because the system is designed not to orient directly to application development, it frees the development environment of applications, and gets rid of the constraints of process definition model for complicated, dynamic processes in traditional workflow management systems. Owing to its important characteristics on run time synchronous coordination, information inheritance, its ability to support dynamic process control based on process instances, and its independency to the application systems, the MPCS has good adaptability, availability, scalability, and is capable of accommodating to dynamic applications. It can be a main component of enterprise information infrastructure, and then support the application of the ideology of workflow in complex process management environment.
