Abstract :
Runtime encapsulation of nested process models supports flexible workflow management in a distributed heterogeneous environment. Through its modular design, the WW-flow system provides a hierarchical control scheme over complex processes and subprocesses. Implemented in Java, the workflow engine and client interfaces are portable and platform-independent
