工作流互操作行为的研究与应用

The Research and Application on Workflow Interoperability

1.引言工作流通常包含一系列支持特定业务流程的活动。如质量管理中的工作流包括产品的开发研究、设计、生产计划、产品质量测试,直至产品的销售、技术服务等一连串生产经营活动。然而,业务流程经常相互作用,不同流程的交互活动难以形式化和理解。在传统工作流系统中,由工作流管理系统分别描述并独立支持每一业务流程。

With the development of information technology,it is the trend to improve efficiency by the automation management of workflow-based application. Business processes are often complex and interactions of them are difficult to formalize and understand. This paper includes the research on the workflow interoperability. Referring to the module,we analyze some kinds of relations of different tasks in an application to provide ways to optimize processes. At last,we give primary assumption to solve the limitations of current workflow system on interoperation.
