Paper: A configuration management approach for large workflow management systems
Authors: Hans Schuster, Jens Neeb, Ralf Schamburger
Proceedings of the international joint conference on Work activities coordination and collaboration
Year of Publication: 1999
Publisher: ACM Press New York, NY, USA
Abstract: Scalability to large, heterogeneous, and distributed environments is an important requirement for workflow management systems (WfMS). As a consequence, the management of the configuration of a WfMS installation becomes a key issue. This paper proposes an approach for managing the configuration of WfMS together with an assignment strategy for workflow instances. Separating the logical issues of the workflow model from the physical configuration of a WfMS is the basis of our strategy. A formalization of physical organizational requirements in a WfMS configuration covering access rights, usage policies, and costs for the access to WfMS servers is presented and used in the assignment strategy for workflow instances. The results of our approach fit well for many existing WfMS and also for the reference architecture of the Workflow Management Coalition.
Paper: An overview of workflow management: From process modeling to workflow automation infrastructure
Authors: Diimitrios Georgakopoulos, Mark Hornick, Amit Sheth
Abstract: Abstract Today's business enterprises must deal with global competition, reduce the cost of doing business, and rapidly develop new services and products. To address these requirements enterprises must constantly reconsider and optimize the way they do business and change their information systems and applications to support evolving business processes. Workflow technology facilitates these by providing methodologies and software to support (i) business process modeling to capture business processes as workflow specifications, (ii) business process reengineering to optimize specified processes, and (iii) workflow automation to generate workflow implementations from workflow specifications. This paper provides a high-level overview of the current workflow management methodologies and software products. In addition, we discuss the infrastructure technologies that can address the limitations of current commercial workflow technology and extend the scope and mission of workflow management systems to support increased workflow automation in complex real-world environments involving heterogeneous, autonomous, and distributed information systems. In particular, we discuss how distributed object management and customized transaction management can support further advances in the commercial state of the art in this area.

Exotica/FMQM: A Persistent Message-Based Architecture forDistributed Workflow Management
Authors: G. Alonso, C. Mohan, R. Güunthör, D. Agrawal, A. El Abbadi, M. Kamath
Abstract: In the past few years there has been an increasing interest in workflow applications as a way of supporting complex business processes in modern corporations. Given the nature of the environment and the technology involved, workflow applications are inherently distributed and pose many interesting challenges to the system designer. In most cases, a client/server architecture is used in which knowledge about the processes being executed is centralized in one node to facilitate monitoring, auditing, and to simplify synchronization. In this paper, we explore a novel distributed architecture, Exotica/FMQM, for workflow systems in which the need for such a centralized database is eliminated. Instead, we use persistent messages as the means to store the information relevant to the execution of a business process. Our approach is to completely distribute the execution of a process so individual nodes are independent. The advantages of this approach are increased resilience to failures and greater scalability and exibility of the system configuration.
