Constructing Business Simulation Training Platform Based on Workflow Management Systems

Abstract

Since the concept of workflow originates from the fields of production organization and office automation in 1970s, workflow technology research and related product development have entered a more prosperous stage during the 80s. Presently, workflow management technology has been successfully applied to libraries, hospitals, insurance companies and, of the most important, to the industrial fields. This paper aims at how the workflow-based technology can be applied to the area of intelligent education. We focus the attention on some important aspects of constructing business training platform with the workflow management system technology based-on, such as the construction framework, platform functions and implementation. Mean-while, workflow reference model design is presented and the workflow-based scheduling is carried out that will be employed in the developing process. Moreover, we point out the follow-up development potentials for constructing other wisdom training platform based on the workflow management systems.
