基于专家系统的协同设计工作流管理系统研究

Research of Collaborative Design Workflow Management System Based on Expert System

本文提出了一种支持协同产品设计的以规则为基础的工作流管理系统模型架构,其中以专家系统的推论引擎作为工作流程管理系统的推进机制,利用推论引擎的知识库存储流程的事实与规则,以各任务的输出结果、任务间的关联性并搭配预先定义好的流程规则作为推论的依据,讨论了系统的架构设计、关键技术及系统实现,该系统为复杂的工作流程提供了一种新的管理及控制模式。

The paper proposes a collaborative design workflow management system architecture based on rules. It uses the expert system inference engine as the workflow processing mechanism. The facts and rules store in the inference engine’s knowledge bases. The task’s outputs and relation and prepared rules are the basis to inference. The paper discusses the architecture design, its key technology and implementation. The architecture provides a novel management and control model for complicated workflow.
