  3. Customer Information Tietronix Software Inc. , 1331 Gemini Avenue, Suite 300 Houston, TX 77058. Website: www.tietronix.com Contact Person: Mr. Scott hatherington Tietronix Software Inc. Tieflow Workflow Toolkit

  4. Outline • Workflow process • Existing application • Proposed project • RIA’s • Architectural design of project • Basic Transition Elements and rules • Use cases • Prototype screens Tieflow Workflow Toolkit

  5. Workflow Process • Definition: formal or informal flow diagramming techniques, showing directed flows between processing steps • Passing of information according to set of rules • Management of a workflow process Tieflow Workflow Toolkit

  6. Workflow Process: Key Benefits • Improved efficiency • Better process control • Improved customer service • Flexibility • Business process improvement Tieflow Workflow Toolkit

  7. Existing Application • Standalone desktop application • input from graphical process editor • Workflow definition : XML • nodes in XML (distinct symbols and/or colors) • rocess_Start • Activity • Edge • Process_End Tieflow Workflow Toolkit

  8. Sample Process Tieflow Workflow Toolkit

  9. Tieflow Workflow Toolkit

  10. Complex process Graph Tieflow Workflow Toolkit

  11. Project features • Non Functional • Display of the process • no installation required • Functional • Input : XML file • process into flash player • simulation engine • interacts with flash player • Output: graphical diagram Tieflow Workflow Toolkit

  12. Roles of each team members Tieflow Workflow Toolkit

  13. Basic Constructs of Project Tieflow Workflow Toolkit

  14. Proposed Project Aim :Create a web-based system in which the process definition of workflow will be displayed into Flash player at client-side • four simulation modes: • Manual method. • Path probability method. • Path coverage method. • Time based method. Tieflow Workflow Toolkit

  15. Two Major Phases Phase 1 • Displaying the workflow definition graphically in flash player • Browse and select the input in XML • Parse the input XML • Generate workflow process Phase 2 • Simulate the manual method mode - manually step through the process - identify bottlenecks Tieflow Workflow Toolkit

  16. Technologies Used • IDE and Framework:Flex Builder 2 • Language:Action Script 3.0, MXML • Client Side:Adobe Flash player 9 Tieflow Workflow Toolkit

  17. RIA RIA (Rich Internet Application) features: Desktop like experience to the user Make Internet applications more responsive Reduced network traffic From business perspective, problems such as slackened browsing and low customer conversion rate can be solved Tieflow Workflow Toolkit

  18. Flex Data Services True publish-subscribe or push technology can be achieved using the Flex Data Services Tieflow Workflow Toolkit

  19. Use Case Diagram Tieflow Workflow Toolkit

  20. Architectural diagram Tieflow Workflow Toolkit

  21. Summary Report Reports are displayed in flash graphically Reports are not stored on server Tieflow Workflow Toolkit

  22. Assumptions and Constraints Multiple instances of an activity Assume assignees as roles Sub process details not shown Workflow process definition need not be validated Tieflow Workflow Toolkit

  23. Project Timeline Tieflow Workflow Toolkit 23
