Abstract :
Considering the problem of traditional workflow management system, this paper presents a workflow management system based on multi-agent, which applies the coordination and negotiation of multi-agent and the task distribution strategy based on contract net. So, it can not only contribute the communication of nested components, but also settle the conflict between the operations and the executors. Furthermore, it improves the efficiency and the applicability of the system.
