【Abstract】 Workflow is business process automation,while current involving methods mainly depend on traditional centralized C/S infrastructure.As far as we know,the existing methods have following weaknesses in nature:1) difficulies of scaling up workflow processing abilities;2)poor robustness of system;3)limited in mobile environments. However,peer-to-peer technology is characterized by direct communication between peer and peer,large scale,and extreme dynamism,while mobile agent technology can help to complete tasks of workflow automatically and efficiently because of its mobility,self-control and so on.In this paper,we present a novel framework based on office-secretary model,which implement location of user based on ID or information and search and visit file based on contents through peer-to-peer network and complete automatic workflow by mobile agent technology.In particular, we believe that IPMA framework could easily support sclahle,dynamic,reliable,and ubiquitous workflow applications.更多还原
