摘要
首先阐述了工作流管理系统中协同工作流Ａｇｅｎｔ的概念，然后定义一个用来描述工作流中Ａｇｅｎｔ之间任务、通信以及协议行为的工作流描述语言ＣＷＤＬ，最后描述了实现ＣＷＤＬ语言的协同工作流Ａｇｅｎｔ的框架结构。从多Ａｇｅｎｔ的角度，定义一种高级语言来灵活地描述工作流任务及其任务间的复杂通信协同关系是我们的研究特点。
This paper firstly gives the definition of cooperative workflow agents for workflow management systems. Secondly, a cooperative workflow description language (denoted by CWDL) is defined to specify tasks, communication and contracts between the cooperative workflow agents. Finally, it specifies the architecture of a cooperative workflow agents and its functional modules. The advantage of our research is to define a high level language to flexibly specify the workflow tasks and complicated cooperative relations between the tasks from perspective of multi\|agents.
