Workflow Dynamic Simulation And Model Analysis Based On XinPai Driven Workflow Model

Nowadays, workflow management technology, which supports business process modeling, management, integration, simulation analysis and optimization, is applied widely. However, few workflow products provide modeling engineer with simulation analysis function to verify, diagnose and optimize business process model so as to sustain business process reengineering and optimizing.The mode to analyzing capability and verifying correctness of workflow model is divided in static inspection and dynamic simulation. Because of its practicality, workflow dynamic simulation is attracting more and more attention in workflow management technology research and practice. The thesis introduces the basic concept and the theory of the workflow dynamic simulation, focusing on the adoption of process by means of dynamic simulation for testing and analysis, verification business process at the right time, by the appropriate participants to do the right thing. Especially the paper study several key problems in processsimulation——setting up simulation environment, generating event table, calculating activitysimulation time. We study workflow simulation and bring forward architecture of workflow model simulation system and workflow model analysis and evaluation indicators. Simulation engine automatically simulates activity execution and pushes simulation model under the simulation environment set by users. Finally, several kinds of simulation reports are provided for users to analyze performance indexes of this process model, and then to help users get a better process model so as to support enterprise business process improvement."Process management oriented software production line" is a national "863" key project. My laboratory undertakes part of the works and my team has responsibility to design and implement workflow simulation system based on XinPai driven workflow model, this is the foundation and basis for the papers.
