This paper proposes a policy adjuster-driven Grid workflow management system for collaborative healthcare platform, which supports collaborative heart disease diagnosis applications. To select policies according to service level agreement of users and dynamic resource status, we devised a policy adjuster to handle workflow management polices and resource management policies using policy decision scheme. We implemented this new architecture with workflow management functions based on policy quorum based resource management system for providing poincare geometrycharacterized ECG analysis and virtual heart simulation service. To evaluate our proposed system, we executed a heart disease identification application in our system and compared the performance to that of the general workflow system and PQRM system under different types of SLA.

Business process in e-government mostly embody as the flow of documents. Constructing a web-based document flow system becomes an critical task for today s digital government. But few of them use an off-the-shelf workflow product. Why? One of the reasons is that most of the workflow system are heavyweight, monolithic, and package a comprehensive set of features in an all-or-nothing manner. Another reason is that workflow technology lacks the constructs and modeling capability as programming language. It is incumbent on government IT organizations to transform their solution development to component-based computing model. Component technology isolates the computation and communication parts, but how to compose different software components is still a hard nut. An integrated development environment is necessary for CBSD. In this paper we propose a XML and component-based document flow-oriented integrated development environment (DFoIDE) for software developers. By writing some xml configure file, and operate on DFoIDE, developer can construct a workflow application quickly. This method divides system to several components and the activities in process are implemented as business component. Different components are discribed detailedly in this paper, especially one of the core component. Component Integrating Tool. Different perspectives in workflow application are seperated and depicted as different XML files. Correspondly, A component composition method for developing workflow application instead of workflow itself is proposed.

The size of observation data in astronomy has been increasing exponentially with the advents of wide-field optical telescopes. This means the needs of changes to the way used for large-scale astronomy data analysis. The complexity of analysis tools and the lack of extensibility of computing environments, however, lead to the difficulty and inefficiency of dealing with the huge observation data. To address this problem, this paper proposes a workflow execution system for analyzing large-scale astronomy data efficiently. The proposed system is composed of two parts: 1) a workflow execution manager and its RESTful endpoints that can automate and control data analysis tasks based on workflow templates and 2) an elastic resource manager as an underlying mechanism that can dynamically add/remove virtualized computing resources (i.e., virtual machines) according to the analysis requests. To realize our workflow execution system, we implement it on a testbed using OpenStack IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) toolkit and HTCondor workload manager. We also exhaustively perform a broad range of experiments with different resource allocation patterns, system loads, etc. to show the effectiveness of the proposed system. The results show that the resource allocation mechanism works properly according to the number of queued and running tasks, resulting in improving resource utilization, and the workflow execution manager can handle more than 1,000 concurrent requests within a second with reasonable average response times. We finally describe a case study of data reduction system as an example application of our workflow execution system.

The recent push for healthcare reform has caused healthcare organizations to focus on ways to streamlined processes in order to secure high quality care as well as reducing costs. Healthcare enterprises involve complex processes that span diverse groups and organizations. These processes involve clinical and administrative tasks, large quantities of data, and large number of patients and personnel. We propose the mobile-based workflow system of passable communication as an important factor in the B2B healthcare. Based on the above proposal the workflow system of business process was designed and implemented on the basis of Java, UML and XPDL.

Collaborative product commerce(CPC) involves many people working together with heterogeneous and distributed software applications. For such an environment, Workflow Management System(WFMS) can be useful for coordination of people, software agents and processes. It provides diverse services including automatic work muting, project management continuous process improvement and application integration. However, there are some limitations to apply WFMS to CPC environment due to inflexibility and lack of design support facilities. This paper identifies the problems and addresses possible approaches to overcome the difficulties.

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.

This paper addresses the issue of workflow on Grid and P2P, and proposes a layered workflow architecture and its related workflow models that are used for not only distributing workflows' information onto Grid or P2P resources but also scheduling the enactment of workflows. Especially, the most critical rationale of this paper is on the fact that the nature of Grid computing environment is fitted very well into building a platform for the maximally parallel and very large scale workflows that are frequently found in very large scale enterprises. The layered architecture proposed in this paper, which we call Enterprise Workflow Grid Architecture, is targeting on maximizing the usability of computing facilities in the enterprise as well as the scalability of its underlined workflow management system in coping with massively parallel and very large scale workflow applications.

최근의 웹 환경 확산으로 웹을 기반으로 하는 워크플로우 시스템의 구축경향이 높다. 워크플로우 시스템에서 중요한 기능은 미리 정의된 규칙, 절차 및 조건에 따라 작업흐름을 자동화하는 것으로 정보흐름에 있어서 수동적인 작업을 배제하고 GUI 방식을 지원하며 정보처리의 이동성이 고려되어야 한다. 특히 분산된 업무조직의 작업흐름을 위한 분산워크플로우 시스템은 웹 환경에 있어서 프로세스 로직에 따른 태스크간의 이동제어와 결함허용 및 실시간적 처리가 가능해야 한다. 그러나 기존의 메일 시스템은 전송위주로서 작업흐름을 자동화하려는 경우에 적합하지 못하다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 작업흐름 설계가 가능하고 작업흐름제어를 자동화 할 수 있는 분산워크플로우 엔진이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 웹 메일을 이용하여 작업흐름을 그래픽 인터페이스로 작성하고 이를 절차적 수행이 가능한 스크립트 코드를 생성하는 브라우저를 작성하였으며, 분산환경에서 태스크 처리를 위한 프로세스 스케쥴러 및 서버노드의 결함 발생시 이를 허용하는 전처리기를 지닌 프로세스 엔진을 설계하였다. 이 이스템은 서버의 결함이나 사용자의 부재시 처리를 대행하므로 시스템의 신뢰성과 가용성을 향상시키고, 데이터베이스 기반 워크플로우 시스템보다 비용을 감소시킨다.

UML(Unified Modeling Language) 액티비티 다이어그램은 시스템의 동적인 측면을 표현하는데 적합하기 때문에 비즈니스 프로세스와 워크플로우를 모델링하는데 유용하게 사용된다 그러나 워크플로우 시스템에서 중요시 되는 시멘틱 정보 표현의 경우 OMG가 제공하는 UML 액티비티 다이어그램에 대한 시멘틱 정보를 표현하기 위한 지침만으로는 정확한 시멘틱 정보의 표현이 어렵다. 이에 본 논문에서는 워크플로우 시스템의 특성에 맞도록 ASM(State Machine) 시멘틱을 확장한 후 액티비티 다이어그램에 적용하여 워크플로우 시스템을 모델링하는 방안을 제시한다. 이와 같은 ASM 시멘틱을 기반으로 하는 정형적인 시멘틱에 대한 정확한 정의를 통하여 보다 효율적인 워크플로우 모델링이 가능하다.
