动态柔性工作流平台的设计及实现

随着计算机网络技术的迅速发展,工作流系统也在由以前的集中式向分布式、异构式系统转化,从而实现协同工作。由于企业内部的业务流程往往非常复杂,要建立企业业务流程的模型就很困难,不是某一个人所能完成的,特别是企业内部存在商业机密,所以在建立几个企业组成的企业集团的业务流程模型就必须考虑到虚拟企业结构情况下,多个独立的业务流图基于公开接口的连接。该文主要针对这一需求,结合已开发的一个分布式工作流平台,论述动态柔性工作流的原理及实现。

The Design and Implementation of a Dynamic and Flexible Workfiow Platform

Along with the development of computer -network technology,workflow systems are transforming from centralized model to heterogeneous,distributed model in order for partners to coordinate better.It is difficult for one or a group to establish the whole organization workflow model because of the complexity of processes.For a virtual enterprise,it is more difficult to do this because some organizations may have commercial secrets.An applicable solution is that each enterprise designs its own workflow model according to a publicly -confirmed principle and provide a public interface.They then try to connect all these sub-models through public interfaces to form a global complete model.The workflow platform aiming to resolve above problems is called DFWS (Dynamic Flexible Workflow System).In this paper we will introduce the design and implementation on DFWS.
