Method for structuring workflow system based on XPDL

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for structuring a workflow system based on an XPDL. The structuring method comprises the following steps of: defining and analyzing a XPDL process; building an organization model; building a JMX management framework; designing a client application program; and designing system flow monitoring. Compared with the prior art, the method selects a standard XML of the XPDL as a flow modeling language, and designs and realizes a workflow engine; the method uses the extensible management framework JMX to concentratively manage and control resources and data of the system; and the method builds a client application module and a flow monitoring component on the basis, designs a flexible system user organization model, and realizes a workflow management system under the heterogeneous distributed environment at the same time. The system is based on a componentized program design idea, and has good expansibility and universality.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a framework method of a workflow system, in particular to a framework method of an XPDL-based workflow system. Background technique [0002] The workflow system includes a series of common components, and a set of well-defined methods are used to cooperate among the components; different products show different processing capabilities in these common components. In order to realize the collaborative work among workflow products, it is necessary to establish a standard interface and data exchange format among these components. Through the realization of these standard interfaces, the collaborative work between products can be achieved, and the characteristics of heterogeneous, distributed and loosely coupled information resources can be realized. [0003] The main problems faced by the current workflow technology: [0004] (1) The modeling language has certain limitations: it is suitable for a single group of people, suitable ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] (1) The modeling language has certain limitations: it is suitable for a single group of people, suitable for describing special workflow process definitions, and cannot express process models with similar structures;

[0005] (2) Lack of flexibility and versatility: The complexity of the business processes of modern enterprises puts forward higher requirements for workflow management systems, such as workflow adaptability, process exceptions and process improvement;

[0006] (3) Difficulty in system integration: In a distributed and heterogeneous computing environment, the integration between components of the workflow management system for virtual organizations is difficult and costly
