Common use of Workflow Management System Clause in Contracts

Workflow Management System. The Workflow Manager and Orchestration System (MS) addresses service orchestration and monitoring, hence “autonomic behavior”. One or more MSs can be configured by developers to autonomously execute workflows. D-NET workflows are resources describing sequences of steps, where each step may consist of business logic (i.e. Java code), remote service invocations, workflow forks (i.e. parallel sub-workflows), and workflow conjunctions (confluence of parallel workflows). Typically, service invocations are preceded by a look-up into the IS, which discovers the “best” service of the needed kind and available to execute the call. Workflows can be fired manually or as a consequence of the notification of a resource-related event from the IS or because of time-events, i.e. cron jobs. Workflows are commonly used to automatically schedule data collection from data sources and population of information spaces.
