To cope with rapidly changing enterprise environment, many business entities introduce EAI, which integrates applications by installing middleware. But existing EAI has a serious problem that is to import imddleware-dependent coding method to integrate systems, using different middlewares. In this paper, we suggest middleware independent 'Workflow Management System' which efficiently integrates applications of various middleware systems with 'Duplicate EAI Adapter', 'state chart' and 'XML' technology.

Although OMG gives a textual semantics for UML activity diagrams, some ambiguities can be caused due to the lack of rigorous semantics. That is to say it is difficult to present precise semantics which is taken as important in workflow system with the guide provided by OMG to the n activity diagram. In this paper, the alternative approach of using Abstract State Machine(ASM) to formalize UML activity diagrams is presented. It suggested that ASM semantics is extended corresponding the workflow system characteristics.

This paper describes case studies on workflow impact analyze with an enterprise ontology (EO). We build the EO with an ontology editor $Prot{\acute{e}}g{\acute{e}}$ and integrate concepts of enterprise architecture and a process model into it to expand the EO. We use the expanded EO and Prolog query rules to analysis workflow dependency relations from the perspectives of routing, data and role. Through this, we analyze impact of changes in workflow process. Moreover, we have found the effectiveness of the EO and $Prot{\acute{e}}g{\acute{e}}$ in modeling business management and, in particular, workflow representation and management.

A study on workflow as an automated business processing system is done recently. This appear proposes a method to verify commitability and integrity of workflow specifications, which include various dependencies between parallel tasks, using petri nets. For this, firstly, e describe briefly workflow specification method using workflow graphs. Secondly, we propose a method to convert a workflow graph into a petri net to verify workflow specifications. Thirdly, we suggest the commitability verification method using petri nets to check whether workflow specifications can commit or not and the integrity verification method to check whether invalid components exist or not. Lastly, we implement the proposed verification method and propose a defect extraction method.

A study on workflow system as an automated business processing system is done recently. However, it did not consider various dependencies between parallel tasks. Therefore, this paper proposes modeling and verification of workflows with various parallel dependencies. For this, firstly, we propose four dependencies to specify various parallel dependencies between tasks. They contain sequential starts, parallel starts, sequential commits, and parallel commits. Secondly, we suggest a method to specify various parallel dependencies on workflow graph. Thirdly, we propose a verification method to detect contradictions on workflow specifications.

Business process should support the execution of collaboration process with agility and flexibility through the integration of enterprise inner or outer applications and human resources from the collaborative workflow view. Although the dependency of enterprise activities to the automated system has been increasing, human role is as important as ever. In the workflow modelling this human role is emphasized and the structure to control human error by analysing decision-making itself is needed. Also, through the collaboration of activities agile and effective communication should be constructed, eventually by the combination and coordination of activities to the aimed process the product quality should be improved. This paper classifies human errors can be occurred in collaborative workflow by applying GEMS(Generic Error Modelling System) to control them, and suggests human error control method through hybrid based modelling as well. On this base collaborative workflow modeling tool is designed and implemented. Using this modelling methodology it is possible to workflow modeling could be supported considering human characteristics has a tendency of human error to be controlled.

In this study, we investigate several problems of previous workflow system, and suggest an enhanced process management system that involves a substantial portion of workflow system. To overcome the differences in systems, we selected a web as platform to develop a process management system, and we investigate merit and capability of web-based process management system. We improved WFMS's ability to define various process through many behavior rules and multiple layered process structure. We suggest X-WPM system for the process management system with XML technology.

Application Contents of based on a workflow process unit in grid system is a practical work to solve the problem. To construct cooperation environment is very important because the contents are deployed and executed. And the most of cooperation is executed by workflow. Globus toolkit is the middleware for cooperation process in grid environment. However the middleware only provides basic services for constructing grid, not workflow that can provides cooperation, job scheduling, application contents management. Also Globus toolkit is suitable for huge gird community but small size pc based grid community. Therefore, this paper proposes the efficient application contents deployment system for small sizes cooperation. This system supports efficient cooperation environment with Application contents deployment and resource management provided in grid community. Also it presents information and association relation among application contents with association dictionary among application contents based on workflow process unit, and utilizes this as information for application contents deployment.

Workflow management system provides automation of job processes by maintaining shareability on information about various job process schedules and persons related to those schedules. Existing workflow management systems use file or database to store the information generated in those systems. However, file or database system could manage only non-complicated information for the workflow but not the information resources of an enterprise which is complicated and of various formats. Therefore, we need a data management system that could control those information resources. This system should manage the data which are distributed at several places geographically. Information Repository could meet those requirements. Information Repository may integrate, store and manage information resources requested by application systems. We have an international standard for the information repository, Information Resources Dictionary System(IRDS). The IRDS, however, does not support distributed environment. In this paper, we design and implement an information repository based on IRDS that may be operated in distributed environment. We verify that this information repository is more effective and is more effective than any other file or database system.
