Design and Implementation of a Workflow Rendering Engine
نویسندگان
چکیده
Business visualization is an effective tool for business decision making and problem solving. Despite its obvious benefits, 3D visualization is far less common in practice than it should be due to the lack of software support. To address this problem, we have developed a workflow rendering engine that facilitates the 3D visualization of business process information for organizational process analysis and efficiency studies. The workflow information is represented in XML format to be compatible with the new Web graphics standard X3D. The rendering engine is implemented using C++ and OpenGL in order to take full advantage of modern 3D graphics hardware. The object-oriented design makes this engine highly extensible.

Architectural Plan for Constructing Fault Tolerable Workflow Engines Based on Grid Service
In this paper the design and implementation of fault tolerable architecture for scientific workflow engines is presented. The engines are assumed to be implemented as composite web services. Current architectures for workflow engines do not make any considerations for substituting faulty web services with correct ones at run time. The difficulty is to rollback the execution state of the workflo...

Spacecraft software automatic testing plays an essential role in spacecraft testing field for a decade. However, less attention has been paid on it based on workflow methodology. In this paper we introduce workflow technology into testing for improving the automation of spacecraft software testing. Firstly we present a spacecraft testing process definition language STPDL. Then workflow patterns...
متن کاملCiAN: A Workflow Engine for MANETs
The practice of using workflows to model complex activities in stable networks is commonplace and is supported by many commercially available workflow management systems (WfMSs). However, the use of workflows to model collaborative activities in mobile environments, while possible at the model level, has not gained traction due to the lack of a suitable WfMS for mobile networks and devices. Thi...
