Design And Implementation Of Xml-based Dynamic Alliance Workflow Management System Inflow-

To support the collaborations of the enterprises efficiently, after some researches on the latest progresses of computer theories and technologies, we develop a system which combines CSCW, workflow and XML to construct a XML-based and web-based WfMS which can support muti-user's collaboration and cooperation. To solve the research problems, in the system design we develop new three-layer architecture of the workflow management system. Then we introduce the realization of this architecture. This architecture was based on XML and can be extended to BUS model. We introduced the definition and background of "dynamic workflow" and emphasized on the design and implement of it. At last, we also have a summary and some expectations of the system at the thesis's end.The system has the following features:1. Using the combination of XML and JAVA as the core of implement, the system can cross platform and was easy to transform.2. Based on web, the system can be used by any browser to cooperate. 3. The system uses a new three-layer architecture creatively, and can be extended to BUS model. It created a new way of realization of WfMS. 4. Based on XML, the workflow engine has realized "dynamic workflow".
