Abstract: Traditional migrating workflow systems make procedural specifications drive their instances to work, which greatly weakens the agility of instances. To solve this problem, a conception of target-oriented migrationg workflow and its conceptual model are proposed in this paper. It proposes a mechanism based on the BDI-architecture. The migrating instances can generate beliefs, desires, intentions and actions to lead the workflow state to the ultimate purpose. Compared with the traditional workflow methods, the model is flexible and intelligent. It is target-driven and capable of dealing with changes and making decisions according to the workflow state.

Key words: workflow management, migrating workflow, migrating instance, BDI architecture

摘要： 传统的迁移工作流系统为迁移实例编写面向过程的工作流说明并驱动其工作，这种方法限制了迁移实例的灵活性。该文提出面向目标的迁移工作流的概念，定义相应的概念模型，给出基于BDI体系的迁移实例结构，使得迁移实例可以产生令工作流状态向目标转移的信念、愿望、意图和行为。相比传统的工作流方法，该概念模型和迁移机制能够灵活地处理工作流环境中的变化和根据工作流状态进行智能决策，具有目标驱动的特性。
