Domestic open source Workflow gradually developed ····
There are already two open source engines: AGLIEFLOW and WILLOW
Aglieflow is hosted by Hongsoft Brothers,
Willow is a sub-project belonging to Huihoo, hosted by Zostapo Brothers.
Willow
Willow's process description language uses "extended and modified XPDL", the earliest started in November last year, at the time (Silver Fox 999) and Zostapo Brothers, as the child project JFOXFlow for Huihoo Jfox. But shortly after the project was started, I had to quit because of busy work. Continue from Zostapo Brothers.

Aglieflow
I am not very clear in the development of Aglieflow, just suddenly discovered HONGSOFT these days.
The model description language of Aglieflow is too simple. Details can be accessed http://blog.9cbs.net/hongbo781202/Archive/2004/10/21/145506.aspx. - This may be that Hongsoft feels that XPDL is too complicated, and a simplification of it.
Ok, the words come true, talk about the development of the domestic open source workflow business ·····
The earliest open source workflow is a few people, and the ice and other people are also at that time. The two translations have also been widely circulated "Workflow XPDL Chinese" and "Workflow Reference Model Chinese" " . - This is already a medium-term thing in 2002. At the time they wanted to do the name, I have forgotten, but I finally didn't make it because of other reasons.
In the same year, the eWorkflowing Forum came out. The first forum for workflow, this is also organized by paste and other people, so far, it is not easy.
From 2000 to 2002, it is also a few years of gross domestic workflow products. At present, the famous three workflow products in China are born and developed during that period.
During the end of 2002 to 2003, domestic open source workflows were still quite silent. However, during this period, there is a considerable part of the college student is related to Workflow. At that time, it seems that the Workflow in China is still in WFMC and XPDL.
I opened my own Javafox personal website at the end of 2003. Workflow articles such as "Workflow Authorization Control Model" have been written successively
At the end of 2003, the Workflow has been widely known. At this time, the domestic small embedded workflow engine slowly developed (in fact, the earliest should be an emergence angle at the end of 2002), such as Ning, Ding Hong, paste, pillar Others are beginning to develop their own lightweight embedded workflow engines. - Say these is because these friends are also involved in the domestic workflow forum water while developing.
In the mid-2004, there were two workflow websites in China: WF800 and WFCHINA. The WF800 was originally for commercial purposes, but it also provided a good place to explore the workflow. Wfchina is me (Silver Fox 999) and paste, and the broken door is created, mainly wants to make China Open Workflow Center.
The next step is now, the end of 2004, there is two open source workflow engines in China.
I hope more people will participate in Open Workflow, and I hope to have more friends to participate in the Workflow Research.
Many people contact workflow, just just for work. I often receive a lot of similar email, the beginning is always: the company has recently received a single list, and use workflow ... ····
