Description

Design method of process engine

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of computer software design, in particular to a design method of a process engine.

Background

The process engine is usually designed based on a finite state machine (the finite state machine represents a finite number of states and a mathematical model of behaviors such as conversion, action and the like among the states), is a software system which operates according to an external input object or a plurality of objects, can be used for driving business to flow according to a set fixed process, can greatly reduce the cost of designing the business by using a set process under the condition of complicated and changeable business, and ensures the accuracy of business execution.

The existing design methods of the process engine have two types: one is a flow engine design method based on linear scheduling, and the flow engine needs to perform each action linearly, and this method needs to exhaust all states of all flows and conditions for switching between states, and is limited to very simple object operation. The other method is a flow engine design method based on nonlinear scheduling, which supports multi-time input and flow nonlinear scheduling, and when a certain event causes the state of one or more objects to change, the action execution sequence of each object is not preset, but is dynamically selected by the flow engine according to the specific context at that time. The method is not limited to the linear execution sequence of the flow, but the flow engine determines the object to be called next and the action of the object, so that the complex system can be operated, but the excessive object operation makes the program design become complicated and complicated.

By integrating the design method, the existing process engine technology has certain defects and shortcomings, and mainly embodies the following points:

1. the process is not integrated with the form, and the form cannot be dynamically modified and configured

2. The transfer conditions of the process nodes can not be dynamically configured according with the service according to the form content 3. the process transfer process can not be freely circulated.
