EMWF 1.0 provides a light-weight workflow manager and engines on Windows CE, Windows XP Embedded, and Linux. It is for small embedded automation devices. EMWF 2.0 also provides basic message passing and real-time scheduling mechanisms and workflow communication facility. This paper describes EMWF 1.0 and extensions in EMWF 2.0, as well as case studies on workflow-based design and implementation as motivations for EMWF and the extensions. %G English %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01055386/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01055386/file/EMWF_-_A_middleware_for_flexible_devices.pdf %L hal-01055386 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01055386 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-AICT %~ IFIP-LNCS-6399 %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC10 %~ IFIP-2010 %~ IFIP-SEUS %~ IFIP-WG10-2
