| Workflow is a new technology that develops rapidly recent years in computer applications fields,and as realization of workflow technology, workflow management systems have widely applied in many trades.The quality of workflow input into workflow system is key to the success of the implementation of workflow system.Therefore,workflow modeling has grown to be one of the major research topics in the area of workflow management.Until recently , little attention has been paid to the collaborative modeling in most of conventional workflow management systems. Workflow models must be designed by professional modeling designers. With workflow management systems used in industry becoming increasingly complex , the business processes managed by them are not only within an organization , but also across organizations. These business processes can not be modeled by a single modeling designer , because this can not make the best of the knowledge of experts in different domain. So that , we have developed a workflow prototype system Wflow recently , and a collaborative modeling tool has been developed. In this paper , the main techniques of this tool implementation are discussed , and a workflow model is presented. Meanwhile,workflow always complex and it's model information can't be used efficiently,there is no reference for modeling designer during modeling.They need a method of workflow model information mining to use these information and debase difficulties in modeling.In this paper,we lucubrated workflow technology, Computer Supported Cooperative Work and XML mining.Based on these technologies,a workflow model recommendation arithmetic is be brought forward,which is combined content,structure and workflow document 's latent information;and then we designed a cooperative frame; finally we integrated the frame and workflow modeling tool to support cooperative modeling for group, simultaneous,we use workflow model recommendation arithmetic to measure the similarity of workflow model document,given recommendation to modeling designer. Innovations during the research are exhibited below:1. Lucubrated workflow technology ,a workflow model recommendation arithmetic is be brought forward,which is combined content,structure and workflow document 's latent information.2. Research on Computer Supported Cooperative Work, designed a cooperative frame,this frame made cooperative process and application incompact coupling .3. Integrated the frame and workflow modeling tool to support cooperative modeling for group, simultaneous,we use workflow model recommendation arithmetic to measure the similarity of workflow model document,given recommendation to modeling designer.Experimentation results indicated that the workflow modeling tool we brought forward can support cooperative modeling for group and given relative workflow recommendation,it is enhanced modeling efficiency and reduced modeling difficulty. |
