Research of the Workflow Management System Based on Microkernel

Based on the analysis of limitation of existing workflow management system, a workflow management system based on micro kernel is researched and designed. In this system, a micro-kernel based workflow engine is designed by separating the service implementation and activity scheduling; the workflow engine interface is defined to connect the related workflow components seamlessly; and then graphics oriented business process modeling is achieved by adopting digraph based business process model. Furthermore, workflow client and administration tools based on Web technology are implemented.
