Abstract

This paper proposed a workflow enactment model to provide process management functions for the next generation Internet service environment such as Web Service and Grid Computing. The existing enterprise workflow enactment models could not meet the scalability and reliability requirements for aforementioned environments. To satisfy these requirements, this study addressed on applying P2P model to the workflow enactment model. Mathematical description and proof were employed to show the recovery based on set theory and we also showed performance enhancement through simulations, which demonstrated a comprehensive result giving more than 100 times fast response time than the existing centralized model on the same resources.

이 논문에서는 웹 서비스와 그리드 컴퓨팅과 같은 차세대 인터넷 서비스 환경에서 프로세스 관리 기능을 제공하기 위한 워크플로우 수행 모델을 제안하였다. 기업 환경을 위한 기존 워크플로우 수행모델은 이러한 환경의 확장성과 신뢰성에 대한 요구를 만족시키지 못하고 있다. 이러한 요구사항을 만족시키기 위하여, 이 연구에서는 P2P 모델을 워크플로우 수행 모델에 적용하였다. 신뢰성 지원을 위한 복구기법을 집합론을 사용하여 수학적으로 기술하고 증명하였고, 시뮬레이션을 통하여 같은 자원을 사용하는 중앙 집중식 모델에 비하여 약 100배 이상의 신속한 응답시간 향상을 보임을 알 수 있었다.
