Integration architecture of workflow management with networked collaborative system

As a key supporting technology in networked collaborative system, workflow management subsystem needs to be integrated with the whole system and other subsystems. Now although workflow management has become the focus and there exists a great deal of literatures about workflow model, simulation, etc., to integrate workflow with other information system has not brought into focus. In this paper a schema is proposed including integrating workflow management subsystem with the networked collaborative system, with project management subsystem and with security subsystem, etc. Also an example is given out at the end of this paper, which has been developed in the author's lab.
