Tóm tắt

Workspaces is a Web-based WFMS developed at the Technical University of Berlin that attempts to deal with various shortcomings of Web-based workflow management systems by employing XML. The proposed architecture combines concepts from workflow management and coordination technology and uses XML for representation and the Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) for processing. The author examines the system architecture and describes the prototype implementation developed with several diploma students for an experimental evaluation of the ideas.
