工作流管理系统互操作技术研究

介绍了工作流技术和工作流参考模型,讨论了该参考模型的重要组成部分及其功能特点,提出了工作流管理系统互操作的四种典型设计模式。在参考模型和典型设计模式的指导下,详细分析了工作流互操作性的分类与实现技术以及目前工作流互操作性存在的问题,从而在一定程度上解决了工作流管理系统的互操作性。

Study on Interoperability of Workflow Management System

The application of the workflow management in IT fields is discussed generally. The basic concepts of the workflow are studied in detail. After put forwarding the workflow management reference model, its components and characteristics are probed into. Then, according the reference model, the three kinds of interoperability among (between) the workflow engines are referred. Through analyzing four general design modes of the workflow interoperability, their characteristics and features are discussed and compared. Then, the classification of the interoperability of the workflow is elucidated. The two ways to realize the interoperability of the different workflow system are addressed. Finally, the shortcomings and the trends in the future of the current workflow interoperability are also touched on.
