Abstract :
Artificial immune system (AIS) depends on the existence of both sensor and communication ranges (assumed circles) with which a single agent can collect and convey information to other agents within the range. On analyses of AIS, agent and workflow, a workflow model of AIS based agent (aiAgent) is proposed. Inspired by the self-develop and learn of human immune system, AIS is referred as a novel evolutionary paradigm. Combination of AIS and agent in workflow management system makes it more interoperable, robust, autonomous and intelligent in a distributed environment. A solution to a management information system (JYMIS) based on workflow is presented, in which the method of aiAgent is applied. With consideration of security and error correction, the results show that this model works well in the system and the system is more flexible and intelligent
