  5. Introduction • What is Work Flow? • A Workflow is an automation of business process within which information, tasks or jobs are passed from one entity to another. Some Examples • Credit Card application processing. • Product design and development. CSCI 6838 Spring 2009 04.29.2009

  6. Presentation Flow • Introduction • Existing Application • Problem Definition • Bugs Fixed • Dynamic Repeat • Dynamic Repeat Demo • Time Based Simulation • Time Based Simulation Demo • Copy of a Process • Conclusion CSCI 6838 Spring 2009 04.29.2009

  7. Existing Application TieFlow Workflow Toolkit • TieFlow Workflow Toolkit is a web based electronic workflow system. • Used to automate manual form based process. • Major Function • Create, display, modify process definition in XML. • Workflow engine uses XML process definitions to load database tables to execute process. • Current uses • NASA's Flight Director's Office uses the same for its Flight Rules Change Request (FRCR) CSCI 6838 Spring 2009 04.29.2009

  13. Dynamic Repeat Introduction • What is Dynamic Repeat? • Basic Idea • A new repeat expression for Timer. • Can be specified in a time period or an implied manner. • Differences with Normal Repeat • Dynamic Repeat can be specified through database values, constant values and ContentData Values • Dynamic Repeat so can be specified in a implied manner consisting of Repeat Months, Weeks, Days, Date and Time. CSCI 6838 Spring 2009 04.29.2009

  14. Approach of implementation to Dynamic Repeat • It was a new and a unique element • It consists of mainly three elements. • Dynamic Repeat Time Period • Dynamic Repeat Day • Dynamic Repeat Date • We divided the implementation into three steps • Parse the new Dynamic Repeat Element • Assigning and Displaying the values for the element • Writing out the new values in XML Specification CSCI 6838 Spring 2009 04.29.2009

  15. Implementation of Dynamic Repeat • We have created all the necessary classes and also suitably changed other supporting classes. • Dynamic Time period element is working almost completely. • We are able to create new specification using the GUI for the new Dynamic Time Period and save the specification. • For Dynamic Day and Dynamic Date we have created the related GUI and the functions to parse these elements. CSCI 6838 Spring 2009 04.29.2009

  16. Problems • Does not write out the Dynamic Date and Day elements correctly. • The GUI is incomplete for Dynamic Day and Date and needs to have few more functions to support the dynamic elements. • Dynamic Time period GUI should support the Content Data, Database and Constant Values. CSCI 6838 Spring 2009 04.29.2009

  17. Presentation Flow • Introduction • Existing Application • Problem Definition • Bugs Fixed • Dynamic Repeat • Dynamic Repeat Demo • Time Based Simulation • Time Based Simulation Demo • Copy of a Process • Conclusion CSCI 6838 Spring 2009 04.29.2009

  19. Time Based Simulation Wizard • Simulation of a process • Simulation types or scenarios • Recurrent startup • Schedule startup CSCI 6838 Spring 2009 04.29.2009

  20. Defects in previous design • Summary to check startup conditions before final report • Fixed resource assignment • Backward navigation in some windows • Too much parameters to deal on a single window CSCI 6838 Spring 2009 04.29.2009

  21. Fixed resource assignment CSCI 6838 Spring 2009 04.29.2009

  22. Summary View • All the startup conditions are displayed • Navigate back to change the conditions • Simple design and easy to understand • Move Save option to this window CSCI 6838 Spring 2009 04.29.2009

  23. Summary View design Go back and change conditions Save simulation button moved to this window CSCI 6838 Spring 2009 04.29.2009

  24. Flexible resource assignment Navigate back to load or define resource Removes assignment of a resource with a role CSCI 6838 Spring 2009 04.29.2009
