Benchmarking von Workflow-Management-Systemen (Kurzbeitrag)

  • Conference paper
Datenbanksysteme in Büro, Technik und Wissenschaft

Part of the book series: Informatik aktuell ((INFORMAT))

Zusammenfassung

Heute verfügbare Workflow-Management-Systeme (WfMS) weisen in ihrer Leistungsfähigkeit und Skalierbarkeit deutliche Defizite auf. Während an Verbesserungen intensiv gearbeitet wird, sollten Leistungsvergleiche zwischen verschiedenen WfMS generell auf eine systematische, objektive Basis gestellt werden. Zu diesem Zweck entwickelt dieser Kurzbeitrag einen Benchmark für WfMS, der — ausgehend von den Basisaktivitäten des TPC-C-Benchmarks — in verschiedenen Ausbaustufen Stärken und Schwächen von WfMS ausloten und systematisch vergleichen kann. Die Benchmark-Definition wägt sorgfältig ab zwischen Einfachheit, Realitätsnähe und Aussagekraft von Benchmark-Messungen und ist in dem im Industriestandard UML verwendeten State- und Activity-Chart-Formalismus spezifiziert.
