....Coalition WIL Worklfow Interchange Language WPDL Work Process Description Language WfMS Workflow Management System XML Extended Markup Language xvi Introduction Simplicity does not precede complexity, but follows it. Alan J. Perlis Recently I studied three large object oriented frameworks [90, 6, 24]. Each framework deals with processes from a different application domain insurance, telecommunications billing, and school administration. In each framework the architect used workflow to allow developers to change the business processes without changing the domain specific code. Although ....

....in domains where the business rules change often. It works best with intellectual (abstract) products. We have studied this type of architecture in the insurance framework at the Hartford [OJ98] the Objectiva telephone billing system [AJ98] and the Argo school administration system in Belgium [DT98] Manufacturing concrete products also changes, but not quite as often. For example, automobile makers release new models every year. Manufacturing can benefit from DOM, but the benefit might not be worth the cost. 3 The Structure of the Dynamic Object Model A few key ideas form the ....

....management into existing environments. Workflow as a developer s tool Commercial workflow systems attempt to target a wide range of users. They provide visual tools for non technical users and sometimes open APIs for software developers. Recently we studied three large object oriented frameworks [17, 1, 6], each of which had a workflow component. However, none of these frameworks employed an off the shelf workflow product. Instead, each architect built a custom workflow system that provided exactly the functionality required by his framework and integrated smoothly with the rest of the system. ....

....framework for building applications in Argo, an administrative environment responsible for managing public schools in the Flemish community of Belgium. These applications share a common business model and require a mix of database, electronic documents and workflow functionality. The framework [Til98] uses a repository to store meta information about end user applications. This includes object model, object behavior, constraints, specifications of application, query screens, views used in overview lists and forms, authorization rules, workflow process templates and event conditionaction rules. ....

....rules within the context of an objectoriented framework. We use the framework to build applications in administrative environments. These applications often share a common business model, and typically require a mix of database, document management and workflow functionality. The framework [Til98] uses a repository to store meta information about end user applications. This includes object model, object behavior, constraints, specifications of application environments (object types, attributes and associations that can be accessed) query screens, layout definitions of overview lists and ....
