Abstract

Workflow is an ordered sequence of interdependent component data activities each of which can be executed on an integrated information system by accessing a remote information system. In our previous research [4], we proposed a distributed CIM Workflow system which consists of a workflow execution model called DAF-Net and an agent-based information systems called AIMIS. Given a component data activity, there needs an interaction protocol among agents which allocates the component data activity to a relevant information systems exist. The objective of this research is to propose and test two protocols: ARR(Asynchronous Request and Response)protocol and NCL(Negotiation with Case based Learning) protocol. To test the effectiveness of the protocols, we applied the PVM(Parallel Virtual Machine) software to simulate the distributed CIM Workflow system. PVM provides a distributed computing environment in which users can run different software processes in different computers while allowing communication among the processes.
