一种基于工作流的业务流程集成框架

摘要

A workflow-based integration framework for business process called WFBPI is proposed, which views the legal application logics as components in a distributed computing environment. With a service-oriented view, WFBPI encapsulates the services provided by each component into its adapter, and associates them via xml messages. It also provides a global workflow engine to manipulate the business processes. The layer model is introduced and the three major parts, i.e. workflow engine, adapter, and message broker are defined. A case of order processing in a real world company shows that WFBPI is feasible.%提出一种基于工作流的业务流程集成框架，该框架将各应用逻辑视作分布计算环境下的平台组件，采用面向服务的视图，将组件提供的服务封装到适配器中，使用XML消息协调服务间的交互，通过全局工作流引擎控制业务流程。给出了框架的分层架构模型，设计了框架的核心组件：工作流引擎、适配器和消息代理。以企业订单创建流程为例，验证了框架的有效性。
