Abstract
XML (Extensible Markup Language) and the related technologies have been tightly combined with the methods that implement the Workflow Management Systems (WFMS) . And the research on the XML Workflow Architecture would become hot for the discussion in this field. In this paper, in order to be adapted to this situation , a XML-based Workflow Architecture has been proposed and five technical problems about the implementation of this architecture have been discussed, such as the definition of the process, the instantiation of the process, the distributed transfers of the data, the XML data preservation and the development of the client interfaces.
