Abstract
At present most workflow management systems independently manage workflows but ignore the resource constraint between them. A workflow management system based on agents can solve this problem effectively. This paper mainly discusses issues on workflow management based on agents including the configuration of the workflow system, dynamic scheduling of workflows, multi-agent system organization and communication.
