Abstract :
Current workflow management systems mostly lack flexibility,so that their dynamical adaptability and reutilization are poor. By analysing data coupling between workflow applications with workflow managemt systems,a workflow interface agent which combines factory pattern with reflection techniques was introduced, this model can remarkably reduce coupling between software systems and improve adaptability for complex circumstances of workflow systems.This technique provides flexible interface for integration of workflow management systems with applications.
