摘要：This paper presents a component-based product line for workflow
management systems. The process followed to design the product line was based
on the Catalysis method. Extensions were made to represent variability across
the process. The domain of workflow management systems has been shown to
be appropriate to the application of the product line approach as there are
a standard architecture and models established by a regulatory board,
the Workflow Management Coalition. In addition, there is a demand for
similar workflow management systems but with some different features. The
product line architecture was evaluated with Rapide simulation tools. The
evaluation was based on selected scenarios, thus, avoiding implementation
issues. The strategy that has been used to populate the architecture and
experiment with the product line is shown. In particular, the design of the
workflow execution manager component is described.
