Abstract
A system for transactional processing between an information processing server (3) and a plurality of workstations (2) between which the jobs corresponding to activities constituting procedures are executed, the system including, on the server side, a scheduler module for scheduling the progress of the jobs; a dispatcher module (31) for performing the distribution of the tasks which are based on the relationship between a role and an actor; a signaler module (34) for preserving a trail of times events and receiving information from the scheduler (30) and from a coordinator module (31); a message box (35) exchanging signals on the one hand with the dispatcher (33) and signaler (34) modules, and on the other hand with a module (36) for communication with the workstations and a data management module for the work flow (370), the system including on the part of the workstation a communications layer (27), a message management layer (26) corresponding to the work flow, a layer (24) including various sets of interfaces of applications programming, a management services layer (25), and a user interface layer (20, 21).
