TriGSflow Active Object-Oriented Workflow Management

چکیده
We present the multi-paradigm architecture TriGSflow for a workflow management system. TriGSflow is based on an active extension of the commercial object-oriented database system GemStoneTM. TriGSflow takes full advantage of the capabilities of the underlying database system such as reliability, recovery, transaction management, and authorization. At the current stage of implementation the novel features of TriGSflow are the seamless integration of ECA rules into an object-oriented model, the flexibility of workflow specification due to rule modeling, and the integration of external applications as part of workflow processing.

متن کاملScientific Workflow Management by Database Management
In several working environments, production involves repeated executions of certain procedures. A workflow describes the individual tasks performed in these procedures and their interrelationships. Current Workflow Management Systems (WFMSs) use a Database Management System (DBMS) to store task descriptions, and implement all workflow functionality in modules that run on top of the DBMS. Motiva...
متن کاملFormal Foundation and Conceptual Design of Dynamic Adaptations in a Workflow Management System
While the different aspects of flexible workflow management are still under discussion, the ability to adapt the structure of running workflow instances to modified workflow schemas is an important property of a flexible workflow management system. In this paper we present the formal foundation and conceptual design of dynamic adaptations in an object-oriented workflow management system. We des...
متن کاملPatterns of Workflow Management Facility
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.
