Inoveon's agent-based workflow system is based on a protocol-agnostic software architecture that allows hardware devices and software services to automatically and adaptively interoperate while delivering high quality of service. The architectural foundation is provided by Sun Microsystem's Jini technology, which enables the spontaneous assembly and interaction of services and devices on a network, and is also both wire-protocol and transport-protocol neutral.
This architectural foundation addresses challenges of scale, component integration, and ad-hoc networking that are encountered in distributed computing environments. It can work consistently and reliably across unstable networks, it can adapt to changing network conditions for better resiliency, it simplifies network maintenance and administration for lower cost operations, and it enables components of a service to change at any time without interrupting the service.
Keith presented this architecture at the 7th annual Jini Community meeting while the CIO of Inoveon. This presentation described the business drivers behind the selection of Jini as the architectural foundation, and focused on components of the architecture including: software agents, how workers and priority queues provide services to agents, and use of distributed transactions and round-trip business processes to deliver fail-safe business process automation.
