This paper proposes a model of workflow management based on multi-agent, which makes the workflow much more autonomous, flexible and adaptable. With the knowledge management agent modifying the knowledge base and rule base, the model-based system´s dynamic extension capability is enhanced obviously. The end of the paper shows the application and implementation based on this model, and analyses and discusses it concretely
