基于动态工作流与Agent的企业应用集成研究

Research on Enterprise Application Integration Based on Dynamic Workflow and Agent

传统的基于工作流的SOA架构的企业应用集成(EAI)存在柔性差、模型难扩展等问题,难以满足现代企业动态化的需求。针对这些问题,在研究动态工作流、Agent相关技术及分析二者结合的可能性后,提出一种基于动态工作流的SOA架构的EAI框架。该框架增加了为服务于动态工作流系统的动态服务层,动态服务层更接近实际的业务流程,所有的业务流程是通过智能代理多Agent系统实现服务的动态选择和组合的,多Agent系统由参与集成的操作型Agent和管理型Agent Manager两大部分组成实现。最后通过框架中的核心组件的功能分析并结合项目的具体实现,表明该框架具有良好的可扩展性和柔性。

Traditional enterprise application integration of SOA based on workflow has many problems, such as the poor flexibility and expandability, which is difficult to meet the dynamic demand of enterprises. For these problems, after researching dynamic workflow and Agents and analyzing their combination possibility, a new EAI architecture based on dynamic workflow is proposed. This EAI architecture adds an dynamic service layer for dynamic workflow. This layer is more closer to an actual business processes. The business processes are all through the multi Agent system to realize services selection and combination. The multi Agent system has two parts, integrated Agents and Agent Manager. After analyzing the core parts in this architecture, combined with the specific realization of objects, show that it has good flexibility and expandability.
