Workflow management through distributed and persistent CORBA workflow objects

摘要

Workflow management has gained increasing attention recently as an important technology to improve information system development in flexible and distributed organizations [2,3,8,5]. The WASA project aims at supporting flexible and distributed workflows, using an object-oriented design and the CORBA middleware standard. This paper describes major design goals of WASA_2, and it sketches the architecture and implementation of the system based on CORBA workflow objects and CORBA Common Object Services.
