Abstract :
Workflow model performance is an importance problem of workflow modeling. The paper proposed the definition of workflow performance analysis net after expounding the correlation research on workflow model performance analysis. Based on the definition of workflow performance analysis net, a simulation algorithm for solving the average trigger time of active nodes in workflow model is brought up. The error of the simulation algorithm and the design principles of mainly parameter are discussed in detail. Then the performance indicators of workflow model can be computed based on the theory of open Markov queuing network and the average trigger time of active nodes. The usability of the research results presented in the paper is illustrated by the experimental data of a processing of complaints
