基于Agent微内核工作流技术研究

Microkernel Research in Workflow Management System Based on Agent

工作流引擎作为基于工作流的信息系统的核心技术,发挥了越来越重要的作用,可能成为信息系统基础性的通用框架平台。借鉴操作系统的微内核思想,将其引入到工作流系统设计中,建立起基于微内核的层次分明的工作流系统。为了能在异步的分布式环境中进行部署和通信,在微内核的设计中采用Agent机制。以WMFC标准参考模型为基本要素,将微内核思想、Agent技术融合起来,构建一个基于Agent微内核工作流系统。

Workflow engine may become the common framework platform of information systems basis, it＇s the core technology as a workflow- based information system, exert an increasingly important role. Microkernel will introduce the workflow system design, from the microkernel operating system thinking, and establish a workflow system, based on the microkernel structured and level structure. For be able to deploy and communications in the asynchronous distributed environment, used Agent mechanism in the design of micro- kernel. This paper discuss WMFC standard reference model for the basic elements, microkernel thinking, Agent technology integration together, to construct Agent - based microkernel workflow.
