摘　　要：一、引言 工作流技术作为现代企业实现过程管理与过程控制的一项关键技术,为企业的经营过程提供了一个从模型建立、静态分析和动态分析、仿真、实例化到运行的环境.同时, 工作流管理系统通过一套集成化、可互操作的软件工作为这个框架提供了全过程的支持.Workflow management system(WfMS)has been used to provide a powerful computation environment for the integration of different applications and the cooperation of different organizations within enterprises. In the current research field of workflow technologies ,the distributed workflow engines have gradually caught more and more attentions,and the scalability and flexibility of the whole system are the two critical factors to the successful implementation of the distributed workflow system. In this paper,a distributed workflow system with high scalability and high flexibility that runs on different enterprise function domains is introduced. Meanwhile,the relevant concept of domain,the system infrastructure , the implementation of a process instance and the global control mechanism are also presented.
