However, most context-aware workflows do not offer a method to compose several workflows in order to get mare large-scale or complicated workflow. They only provide a simple workflow model, not a composite workflow model. In this paper, the autorhs propose a context-aware workflow model to support composite workflows by expanding the patterns of the existing context-aware wrY：flows, which support the basic woddlow patterns. The suggested workflow model of. fers composite workflow patterns for a context-aware workflow, which consists of various flow patterns, such as simple, split, parallel flows, and subflow. With the suggested model, the model can easily reuse few of existing workflows to make a new workflow. As a result, it can save the development efforts and time of context-aware workflows and increase the workflow reusability. Therefore, the suggested model is expected to make it easy to develop applications related to context-aware workflow services on ubiquitous computing environments.展开更多

The system setup workflow models which conform to the existing system and resource and the system adopts flexible workflow process mechanism to enhance the adaptability and opening and solve the exception and abnormality manipulation. The results show that it can not only provide the better dyeing order process, but also set dyer free from the fussy daily business and predigest task flow and heighten production efficiency.展开更多
