Title：A Title：A New Kind ofPetri-Net Based Workflow Modeling Language Major：Computer Science Name：Liu Zai Xing Supervisor：Cheng You Q=g Workflow technology continues to on—going development in its traditional application areas of business process modeling and business process coordination，and now in emergent areas of component frameworks and inter-workflow，business-to-business interaction．Now，most contemporary workflow management systems are driven by explicit process models，i．e．， a completely specified workflow design is required in order to enact a given workfiow process．Creating a workflow design is a complicated time-consuming process which is often hampered by the limitations of the workflow language being used．Based on the research result of W．M．P．van der Aalstl：2 and A．H．M．ter Hofstede，languages based on Pe们nets perform better when it comes to state-based work竹ow patterns．However， some patterns(e．g．involving multiple instances，complex synchronizations or non-local withdrawals)are not easy to map onto(high·level)Petri nets．The new kind of PetrI-neFbased language I developed here is trying to overcome the weakness of Petri—net in the field of workflow modeling．And more then this，the new language is not only design for being understood easily by human but also design in symbolic logic which can be understood by machine So it is also the first step to develop a workflow modeling language being independent of management system． Keywords：Workflow，Workflow Modeling，Workflow Patterns，Petd—Net Ⅱ 第1章前 第1章前 言 1．1概述 近年来，在激烈的市场竞争环境中，采用先进的信息技术改造传统制造业 企业成为许多企业赢得市场竞争的主要手段之一，因而企业经营过程重组 (Business Process Reengineering—BPR)理论和方法日益受到重视。BPR要求 企业将传统的以职能为基础的组织机构和运作机制转变为以过程为中心的管理 模式，对企业的业务流程进行彻底的重新实现，进而实现显著提高企业业务能 力和经营效益的目标。在这个大趋势下，作为支持企业业务过程建模、过程优 化及辅助业务过程运行的工作流技术也受到了广泛的重视。 工作流技术一直以来都在不断的发展，现在工作流技术已经不仅可应用于 业务过程建模和业务过程调和等传统领域，甚至已经可以运用到组件架构和交 互工作流(即B2B的交互活动)等新领域中。随之而来的则是大量的工作流产 品——主要是工作流管理软件(WFMS)的出现，同时也带来了基于不同应用 领域的各种各样的工作流规范和定义语言。 W．M．P van derAalst等人比较过现有的工作流产品，指出：“ 发现
