The goal of this seminar was to bring together (1) researchers from the areas of databases and information systems, and (2) developers as well as users of WFMS, in order to get to an in-depth understanding of the issues, and to discuss demanding questions and open problems in detail. These issues include
- the distinctive features of workflow management, as opposed to, for example, CSCW, groupware, or conferencing systems,
- a taxonomy of different workflow definitions, both from an informal and from a formal point of view,
- the impact of advanced transaction models on workflow models,
- the relevance of the ACID properties,
- suitable correctness criteria for single and for concurrent workflow executions,
- architectures for WFMS and their relationship to recent standardization efforts and middleware components in distributed computing, e.g., CORBA or DCE.
