Research of the Workflow Management System Based on Microkernel

Based on the analysis of limitation of existing workflow management system, a workflow management system based on micro kernel is researched and designed. In this system, a micro kernel based workflow engine is designed by separating the service implementation and activity scheduling; the workflow engine interface is defined to connect the related workflow components seamlessly; and then graphics oriented business process modeling is achieved by adopting digraph based business process model. Furthermore, workflow client and administration tools based on Web technology are implemented. The results show that: all this improves the flexibility of the workflow engine in system architecture and reduces the cost of reconstruction and maintaining; at the same time, the user experience is improved.
