Key Components

Workflows A workflow consists of a sequence of connected steps

where each step follows without delay or gap and ends just before the subsequent step may begin.  

Workflow may be seen as any abstraction of real work. For control purposes, workflow may be a view of real work in a chosen aspect, thus serving as a virtual representation of actual work. 

The flow being described may refer to a document or product that is being transferred from one step to another.

Dummy Workflow Model

Technology Used

jBPM JBPM stands for ‘Java Business Process Management’. JBPM is an open-source workflow engine written in Java that can

execute business processes described in BPMN(Business Process Management Notation).

JBPM provides various tools for creating workflows, both for developers (Eclipse) and end users (web-based) to create, deploy, execute and manage business processes throughout their life cycle

RestFul web services REST stands for Representational State Transfer. It is a software architecture style that centres around the

transmission of data over HTTP. HTTP uses 4 main request methods: DELETE, GET, POST, PUT

Technology Used
