Abstract

We designed a distributed transactional workflow system which supports multi-workflow types of large scale enterprises. The system aims to support the whole workflow of large scale enterprises effectively within a single workflow system and the system is designed to satisfy several interacting design goals such as availability, scalability and reliability. The transactional features of the system and the system architecture are also described in detail. Some characteristics of a workflow system can be made out by monitoring the system behavior on different conditions like workloads or system configurations. An early version of the system has been implemented and the performance data of the system is illustrated
