OBJECTFLOW : A Modular Workflow Management System * Experience Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Workflow Management (WM) is an emerging area that involves cross-disciplinary fields as Database, Software Engineering, Business Management, Human Coordination. A Workflow Management System (WMS) is a software tool to automate Business Processes (BPs) and coordinate people of an organization. BPs are a set of linked procedures concentrated on reaching a business goal, normally following a set of procedural rules. This work presents the OBJECTFLOW project, result of the cooperation between an industrial partner, the Centro de Cálculo de Sabadell (CCS, a software company located near Barcelona), and the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC). The main aim of OBJECTFLOW project is constructing a flexible WMS to automate BPs of the medium and big enterprise, allowing the integration to existing software systems.

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 graphi...
متن کاملMOBILE: A Modular Workflow Model and Architecture
Workflows are characterized by multiple aspects: the functional aspect describes what has to be executed; the behavioral aspect tells when to execute a workflow; the organizational aspect determines agents that have to perform a workflow; the informational aspect defines data flow between workflows. In this paper we present a workflow model which follows this separation into various aspects. Th...
متن کاملA New Language to Support Flexible Failure Recovery for Workflow Management Systems
In this paper, we propose a new failure-recovery model for workflow management systems (WfMSs). This model is supported with a new language, called the workflow failure-handling (WfFH) language, which allows the workflow designer to write programs so that s/he can use data-flow analysis technology to guide the failure recovery in workflow execution. With the WfFH language, the computation of th...
