Abstract :
Firstly, it discusses the main characteristic of workflow management system (WfMS) which is used to solve Web-based domain problem, then it put forward a collaborative control system structure including three key modules under cooperative network environment, named as domain process rule base (RB), workflow template base (WfTB) and workflow collaborative solving cooperator(WfCC) separately. Furthermore, an implementation of multi-agents based workflow control mechanism displays how these agents interacts with each other under the collaborative problem solving environment. Finally, take the implementation of composite model solving (CMS) on Web-based decision problem as an example, it shows that the collaborative workflow control algorithm well satisfies the needs of large-scale and complicated domain applications.
