The paper addresses the problem of flexible Workflow Management Systems (WFMS) in distributed environment. Concerning the serious deficiency of flexibility in the current workflow systems, we describe how our workflow system meets the requirements of interoperability, scalability, flexibility, dependability and adaptability. With an additional route engine, the execution path will be adjusted dynamically according to the execution conditions so as to improve the flexibility and dependability of the system. A dynamic register mechanism of domain engines is introduced to improve the scalability and adaptability of the system. The system is general purpose and open: it has been designed and implemented as a set of CORBA services. The system serves as an example of the use of middleware technologies to provide a fault-tolerant execution environment for long running distributed applications. The system also provides a mechanism for communication of distributed components in order to support inter-organizational WFMS.

Although Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) provides a paradigm to accommodate frequent changes in manufacturing sector, modeling and managing operations of CPS are challenging issues due to the complex interactions between entities in the system. Development of an effective context-aware workflow management system to guide the entities in the system is a critical factor to attain the potential benefits of CPS. In this paper, we will address the issue on the design of context-aware workflow management systems for CPS in IoT-enabled manufacturing environment. A CPS consists two parts, the Physical World and the Cyber World. To achieve the goal to design a context-aware information system for CPS, the Cyber World models of the entities in the system are constructed based on discrete timed Petri nets (DTPN) and a multi-agent system architecture in which each entity in the system is modeled as an agent to capture the interactions of entities in CPS. To develop context-aware workflow management systems for CPS, a Configuration/Scheduling Feasibility Problem and a Context Generation Problem in CPS are formulated. A condition for configuration/scheduling feasibility based on transformation of the Cyber World Models is established to develop an algorithm to generate contextual information to guide the operation of CPS. The proposed method is illustrated by examples. A series of experiments have been conducted to demonstrate the practicality of the proposed method in terms of computation time and response time. The results indicate that the computation time and total response time increase polynomially with respect to problem size parameters and show that the proposed method is effective in solving real problems.

AbstractFor Read-Write Linked Data, an environment of reasoning and RESTful interaction, we investigate the use of the Guard-Stage-Milestone approach for specifying and executing user agents. We present an ontology to specify user agents. Moreover, we give operational semantics to the ontology in a rule language that allows for executing user agents on Read-Write Linked Data. We evaluate our approach formally and regarding performance. Our work shows that despite different assumptions of this environment in contrast to the traditional environment of workflow management systems, the Guard-Stage-Milestone approach can be transferred and successfully applied on the web of Read-Write Linked Data.
