Abstract
Workflow technology has been referred to as a `technology for the nineties´, and many commercial workflow systems are being released. Our research reviews workflow technology and its theoretical foundations, focusing on the barriers to workflow success, particularly the problems of workflow tailorability. The user interface requirements for workflow systems are examined using task-centred system design. A user interface for workflow specification, AWE, supports our investigations
