| Be a newly arisen research direction, the Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) is attracting a growing body of research and become to develop one of the most promising research directions up to now. In 1993, WfMC was established to take care of the management of workflow standardization. According to the definition of WfMC, a WFMS is a software system which can completely define and supervise workflow, and carries out the workflow instance according to the logical order of the workflow model. Now, workflow management systems which represent the last research fruit is widely accepted and used in more and more enterprises, organizations and governments. It is increasingly important for workflow technology to improve the development of next-generation EIS.Many experts have contributed to the study of workflow technology, such as Aalst who works in the workflow modeling field, Bertino and Atluri who work in the workflow security and authorization management field, Casati and Ellis who work in workflow change and instance evolution field, Grasso and Aslst who work in the coordinational workflow field. In China, some experts (FAN YU-SHUN, etc) have made scientific research on workflow technology. However, the existing workflow technology is still not mature in timing constraint, distribution and flexibility, which becomes the bottleneck of further development of management information systems such as E-Commerce (EC), Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP), Product Data Management (PDM), Customer Relation Management (CRM), and Computer Integration Manufacture System (CIMS).On the analysis of current status of workflow management research, study of this paper focuses on the following aspect:1.The Supporting Environment Research of Workflow System:proposes a deployment system based on Plug-in ARchive (PAR) . It can effectively solve the complex dependencies during deployment and can provide the modular deployment based on system function point. It also can greatly decrease the...
