Abstract
The initial purpose of this work was the analysis and comparison between the existing XML languages for Workflow specification. For that, in a first phase, Workflow technologies where investigated in architecture, design and functionality level through its observation (views). In a second stage, some of the most representative languages of this area where analyzed in detail: XRL, WWF, CBPEL, XPDL, a comparative study was established according to standards of Workflow normalized by Workflow Managment Coalition, pointing the disadvantages and advantages in each technology. At the end, and on the basis of the produced comparative study, a common denominator was calculated for these languages, materialized in a markup language that satisfies the standards of the most representative Workflow languages.
A translator was also produced. It’s an application that uses this study to establish conversions between Workflow languages directly or through the implemented common denominator, using the benefits and tools that support each one of the existing Workflow technologies.
Ufa! Parece que é desta... já está tudo entregue e (em princípio) só falta defender.
Deixo aqui o resumo e abstract... para quem quiser dar uma vista de olhos e não tiver mais nada que fazer :-)
