Abstract

The development of the workflow management system(WfMS) has become one of the most important research areas in information system. The design of the WfMS is a very complicated process, involving many difficult tasks. In this paper, We discuss the design of Java RMI-based workflow management system JWfMS, mainly on the designing framework of the JWfMS. According to our experience, we found that Java RMI is suitable and practical for the design of heterogeneous, distributed system such as WfMS because Java RMI makes the design and maintenance work much simpler.
