摘要: Today's business enterprises must deal with global competition, reduce the cost of doing business, and rapidly develop new services products. To address these requirements constantly reconsider optimize way they do change their information systems applications to support evolving processes. Workflow technology facilitates by providing methodologies software (i) process modeling capture processes as workflow specifications, (ii) reengineering specified processes, (iii) automation generate implementations from specifications. This paper provides a high-level overview current management In addition, we discuss infrastructure technologies that can limitations commercial extend scope mission increased in complex real-world environments involving heterogeneous, autonomous, distributed systems. particular, how object customized transaction further advances state art this area.
