Abstract

Workflow is an important fundamental technology in computer field. We can make more reasonable usage of the technology through an accurate understanding of that. By using the information visualization tool (CiteSpace), social network analysis tool (Bibexcel) and statistics tool (SPSS) together, we can do some quantitative research of workflow related literatures which come from the Web of Science database with the theory of knowledge mapping and technology foresight. As a result, the author confirmed the top 5 hotspots and the top 3 research communities of workflow area by using word frequency analysis, and identified the top 3 evolution phases and the evolution trends of workflow technology by using word burst detection analysis.
