Patterns of Workflow Management Facility

چکیده
The OMG has issued a Request for Proposal for a workflow management facility for the Object Management Architecture Reference Model. The two responses are complex object-oriented designs. Unfortunately, they both ignore recent work in object-oriented design patterns. Using these patterns will correct some of the deficiencies in the proposals.

Workflow Management Systems have been increasingly used in companies to automate organizational processes. To allow the integration of those systems, the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) defined the Workflow Reference Model. The Object Management Group (OMG), looking for the standardization of workflow management systems in the context of its objectoriented architecture, had also defined a ...
متن کاملA Pattern for Managing Distributed Workflows
Patterns in the domain of workflow management systems(WFMS) have been written. Meszaros and Brown wrote a pattern language for workflow systems[11]. They considered the workflow facility a component of a system and described the process for creating that system. Thus their pattern language falls short of describing workflow facilities managed by an independent WFMS with additional features: tra...
متن کاملEvaluation of a Multi-agent Based Workflow Management System Modeled Using Coloured Petri Nets
Workflow management systems (WfMS) should address the needs of rapidly changing business environments We have built a multi-agent based framework, JBees, which addresses these needs. We evaluate our agent based workflow system modelled using Petri nets with the proposed standards for various workflow patterns and communication patterns. The coloured Petri net model supports the workflow pattern...
متن کاملA WMF-based workflow for e-learning
Traditionally, workflow management systems (WfMS) are heavy monolithic software with vendor specific protocol. The lack of standardisation become a real problem for interoperability. To face this problem, vendors, users and researchers founded the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) and defined the workflow reference model [3]. Based on this work, the OMG designed the Workflow Management Facil...
متن کاملA Transaction-Oriented Workflow Activity Model
The combination of workflow systems and database management systems significantly facilitates the design and reliable management of complex business processes. In this paper we present a high-level workflow activity description language and an advanced transaction mechanism to design long running activities. The strength of our model is the simplicity of the language and the application indepen...
