The design and implementation of a Visual Workflow Modeling tool based on Eclipse plug-ins

Visual workflow modeling is the most critical step of workflow application technology. In this paper, we realize a Visual Workflow Modeling tool using the Graphical Modeling Framework to separate the model, view and control, and by being taped to the Eclipse plugins pattern. By experimenting, the instrument can effectively support the business process modeling based on the workflow system, and this prototype tool lays the foundation for further development of simulation and verification tools.
