About
The Imixs Open Source Project (imixs.org) was created to promote the development of workflow technologies based on open software standards. Within the scope of this project, various technologies and procedures are published that allow and support the development of open, process-oriented workflow systems.
The project comprises the development of a framework to create workflow systems as well as a reference implementation based on the JEE standard. Additionally, the project includes the development of a graphic editor for creation and management of WorkflowModels within the Eclipse framework and also client frameworks to be build in user interfaces. All results of the imixs.org project and subprojects are subject to the GNU Lesser General Public License. Further information about Open Source licensing models can be found here.
Simultaneously to the open source projects, various non open source implementations are performed on different platforms. One of these workflow implementations is based on IBM Lotus Domino. The non open source products are developed by Imixs Software Solutions GmbH and deployed in industrial projects as well as by government authorities. Information for these projects can be found on imixs.com.
In the following section you will find a brief description of the different subprojects included in imixs.org.
IX Workflow API
Imixs IX Workflow API provides the platform for an open and standardized workflow technology. IX Workflow API provides various components in a Java framework that allow to create, control and monitor process-oriented business tasks. The results of the imixs.org project are subject to the GNU General Public License.
IX Web Services
The IX Workflow Architecture provides web service definitions for the implementation of a service based workflow system. These types of workflow systems are for instance applicable to be integrated in a service orientied architecture (SOA). The IX Web Services supply different methods to cover all essential functions of a workflow management system.
IX JEE Workflow
Imixs IX JEE Workflow Server is a reference implementation of the IX Workflow Technology based on the JEE standard by using the EJB 3.0 specifications. The implementation consists of various EJB components as well as concepts for realizing a flexible and robust workflow application. The results of the imixs.org project are subject to the GNU General Public License.
IX Workflow Modeler
The IX Eclipse Workflow Modeler project is a graphical editor based on the Eclipse framework to create and maintain WorkflowModels. The project provides an Eclipse plug-in that allows the user to create WorkflowModels by himself and to deploy them in a WorkflowEngine based on the IX Open Source Workflow
IX Workflow Clients
This projects includes different client technologies to support a workflow client for human interaction. The goal of the workflow clients is to support the user with a graphical user interface (GUI) to start and process workflows. In the moment there are two general client technologies in development. A eclipse based RCP client and a very cool JavaScript based Ajax client.
