Implementation of Workflows as Finite State Machines in a National Doctoral Dissertations Archive
Abstract
Workflows for submission and processing
of digital material is one of the important aspects of
open access repositories and the major concerns in
their implementation. The subject of the present paper is
the modelling of processing workflows in the Hellenic
National Archive of Doctoral Dissertations as Finite
State Machines and their implementation through an
original software library that enables client
applications to create and utilise FSMs.
