PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multi-address merging system in a work flow system capable of performing queuing (called multi-address merging hereafter) until all document agents are arranged at the time of distributing the same document agent to plural nodes (called multi-address hereafter) and then gathering the multi-addressed plural document agents at one part in the network flow system. SOLUTION: The document agents 10 of a multi-address number in are generated a multi-address source node and the registration request of data composed of an instance ID and the multi-address number is issued to an inter-agent communication means 30 at the time of arriving at a multi-address merging node. A queuing monitoring agent 20 is generated by issuing the registration number confirmation request of the data composed of the instance ID and the multi-address number to the inter-agent communication means 30 where the slip agent 10 arrives in the multi-address merging node and taking over the instance ID and the multi-address number in the case of the first document agent provided with the same instance ID and multi-address number and the registration number confirmation request of the data composed of the same instance ID and multi-address number is issued to the inter-agent communication means 30 at the time of checking a queuing monitoring condition. |
