Abstract
Nowadays, workflow processes are mostly built out of the designers’ experience, which is usually full of skills and tactics and the correctness of the resulting processes is hard to guarantee, especially for complex ones. To address this issue, a tool called AAWM (Agent Aided Workflow Modeler) is proposed. This paper details the design and implementation issues related to AAWM such as system architecture, user interface and so on.
