Abstract

This paper gives the functional descriptions and implementation details of an distributed workflow management system that is especially aiming at the scalability issue with a feasible and reasonable performance for the very large scale workflow application domains. In order to cope with the scalability issue, we conceive a new conceptual workflow enactment architecture and implement the architecture through the enterprize java beans framework that provides a robust and efficient computing infrastructure for massive executable objects. Now, the system is completely operable on a distributed computing environment and is experimentally demonstrated with respect to giving the acceptable performance for the very large number of workcases (instances of workflow procedures).
