OpenSource Workflow:
  • JFolder JFolder is a J2EE business workflow application development studio and server. It consists of a workflow engine, workflow studio, and web page studio. Development and administration take place through a web browser.
  • OpenWeb's Bonita is a flexible cooperative workflow system, compliant to WfMC specifications, based on the workflow model proposed by the ECOO Team, which incorporates the anticipation of activities as a more flexible mechanism of workflow execution
  • OpenWeb's Enhydra Shark Shark is completely based on standards from WfMC and OMG using XPDL as its native workflow definition format. Storage of processes and activities is done using Enhydra DODS.
  • OpenWeb's JaWE is the first open source graphical Java workflow process editor fully according to WfMC specifications supporting XPDL as its native file format and LDAP connections. It can be used to edit / view every XPDL file which conforms to WfMC specifications.
  • Codehaus Werkflow Werkflow is a flexible, extensible process- and state-based workflow engine. It aims to satisfy a myriad of possible workflow scenarios, from enterprise-scale business processes to small-scale user-interaction processes. An update to werkflow is in the works, check the Werken company site as well.
  • OpenSymphony OSWorkflow What makes OSWorkflow different is that it is extremely flexible.
  • jBpm jBpm is a flexible, extensible workflow management system. Business processes , expressed in a simple and powerfull language and packaged in process archives, serve as input for the jBpm runtime server. jBpm combines easy development of workflow-applications with excellent enterprise application integration (EAI) capabilities. jBpm includes a web-application and a scheduler. jBpm is a scalable J2EE application.
  • wfmOpen WfMOpen is a J2EE based implementation of a workflow facility (workflow engine) as proposed by the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) and the Object Management Group (OMG). Workflows are specified using WfMC's XML Process Definition Language (XPDL) with some extensions.
  • OFBiz Workflow Engine The Open for Business Workflow Engine is based on the WfMC and OMG spec. OFBiz Workflow Engine uses XPDL as its process definition language.
  • Bigbross Bossa The engine is very fast and lightweight, uses a very expressive Petri net notation to define workflows, does not requires a RDBMS and is very simple to use and to integrate with java applications. Actually, it was designed to be embedded.
  • XFlow XFlow runs within an EJB and servlet container.
  • Taverna The Taverna project aims to provide a language and software tools to facilitate easy use of workflow and distributed compute technology within the eScience community.
  • PowerFolder PowerFolder consists of a developer studio, administration environment, and a runtime engine.
  • Breeze Breeze is a lightweight, cross-platform component-based workflow engine prototype.
  • Open Business Engine Open Business Engine is an open source Java workflow engine which supports the Workflow Management Coalition's (WfMC) workflow specifications, including interface 1, also known as XPDL, interface 2/3 known as WAPI and interface 5 for auditing. OBE provides an environment for executing activities in a controlled, centralized environment. OBE supports both synchronous and asynchronous execution of workflows. The primary OBE implementation is based on J2EE.
  • OpenWFE OpenWFE is an open source java workflow engine. It features 3 components, easily scalable : an engine, a worklist and a web interface. Its workflow definition language is inspired of Scheme, a Lisp dialect, though it is expressed in XML.
  • WorkFlow Toolkit(wftk) is a workflow engine in library form which can be integrated with whatever you need to integrate with. It's designed on a very flexible adaptor architecture, whereby interfaces to external functionality are defined and implemented as independently as possible of the core workflow logic. It makes heavy use of XML, so that its data structures are always easily inspected
  • OpenFlow is a workflow engine developped by Icube and released as free software. OpenFlow supports the open standards (XML/XML-RPC) and the web standards. OpenFlow is activity based, multiplatform, web-based, WfMC inspired, built and integrated with the application server Zope.
OpenSource BPM:
  • ActiveBPEL is a commercial-grade open source implementation of the Business Process Execution Language for Web Services Version 1.1 specification, and is fully compliant with that spec.
  • MidOffice BPEL Editor (MOBE) is an open-source platform for process orchestration which executes, monitors, adjusts and terminates pre-defined processes). The platform is implemented using J2EE technologies and globally accepted standards like BPEL, XML and SOAP.
  • Apache Agila is lightweight BPM engine and auxiliary services
  • JBoss jBPM is a flexible, extensible workflow management system. Business processes, expressed in a simple and powerfull language and packaged in process archives, serve as input for the JBoss jBPM runtime server.
