The Distributed Workflow Management System--FlowAgent
The Distributed Workflow Management System — FlowAgent

While mainframe or 2-tier client/server system have serious problems in flexibility and scalability for the large-scale business processes, 3-tier client/server architecture and object-oriented system modeling which construct businessprocess on service components seem to bring software system some scalability. Asenabling infrastructure for object-oriented methodology, distributed WFMS (Workflow Management System) can flexibly describe business rules among autonomous'service tasks', and support scalability of large-scale business process. But currentdistributed WFMS still have difficulty to manage a large number of distributed tasks,the 'multi-TaskDomain' architecture of FlowAgent will try to solve this problem, andbring a dynamic and distributed environment for task-scheduling.
