工作流管理系统中协同建模环境的研究

工作流建模是工作流技术能否在企业中成功应用的一项关键技术。传统工作流管理系统中的建模工具只支持单用户建模，不利于对持续变化、不可预测的市场需求做出迅速而准确的反应。提出了一个工作流管理系统中协同建模环境的概念框架，并对该框架中的相关内容：协同建模语言、访问控制、建模相关信息的感知以及模型定义冲突的管理作了讨论，最后展望了下一步的研究内容。

RESEARCHES ON ENVIRONMENTS OF THE COLLABORATIVE MODELING IN WORKFLOW MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

Workflow modeling techniques play an important role in the enterprise application of workflow techniques. With the changeful and unpredictable demands of market, collaborative modeling environments should be created to make workflow modeling speedy and precise. In this paper, a conceptual framework of collaborative modeling environments in workflow management systems is presented. Meanwhile, the related contents in this framework are discussed, which incluide collaborative modeling languages, access controls, information awareness, and conflict managements in model definition. Further researches in this area are prospected at the end of this paper.
