Dartflow: a Workflow Management System on the Web Using Transportable Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
Workflow management systems help streamline business processes and increase productivity. This paper describes the design and implementation of the DartFlow workflow management system. DartFlow uses Web-browser embedded Java applets as its front end and transportable agents as the backbone. While Java applets provide a safe and platform independent GUI, the use of transportable agents makes DartFlow highly flexible and scalable. This paper describes the design and implementation of DartFlow, as well as a workflow application that exploits DartFlow’s agent-based design.

Scalable Workflow System Model Based on Mobile Agents
A workflow system defines, creates and manages the execution of business workflows with workflow engines, which interpret workflow definitions, and interact with task performers. As most of non-trivial organizations have massive amount of workflows to process simultaneously, there is ever-increasing demands for better performance and scalability of workflow systems. This paper proposes a workfl...
متن کاملArchitectural Plan for Constructing Fault Tolerable Workflow Engines Based on Grid Service
In this paper the design and implementation of fault tolerable architecture for scientific workflow engines is presented. The engines are assumed to be implemented as composite web services. Current architectures for workflow engines do not make any considerations for substituting faulty web services with correct ones at run time. The difficulty is to rollback the execution state of the workflo...

متن کاملAn Adaptive Workflow Engine Based on Web Services and Agents
At present workflow management systems are widely used to manage business processes in an organization, while the workflow engine provides a runtime execution environment, manages the overall processing and execution of workflow instances. One of the major limitations of current workflow engine is the lack of flexibility to support adaptive environments. In this paper we propose an adaptive wor...
متن کاملMulti-Agent Based Peer-to-Peer Workflow Management System
Current workflow management systems are under dynamic evolution and tend to move to distributed business processes. Software agents and Peerto-Peer (P2P) technology are being recognized as a new approach to decentralized workflow management systems. Plugging Multi-agents into P2P workflow management systems can support run-time functions, workflow instance monitoring, adaptability and exception...
