Abstract: Resource allocation of workflow has a direct impact on the average execution time
of process instances and the cost of an enterprise. Workflow resource optimization can
effectively optimize the resource allocation amount to decrease the average running time of
workflow instance and increase resource utilization rate and workflow's running efficiency. In this
paper, time performance of workflow multi instances running are analyzed based on Queuing
Theory, amount relationship between resource allocation amount and average running time of
workflow instance is studied,then the mathematical model of resource optimization under
multi-activity - multi-resource allocation style with constraints of resource cost and amount is
built and the model is solved with simulated annealing algorithm to obtained the optimal
resource allocation scheme to realize resource optimization in workflow running process. An
example of furniture enterprise is illustrated to verify the presented method. © 2012 Praise
