Agents For Workflow
- Workflow is the process of moving work around a
company.
- For example, when a student application arrives at USC it
enters a workflow process. Different people review different
parts of it, adding their comments, until a decision is
finally made. The process can take many different paths.
- There are now workflow languages. Most important is BPEL4WS,
a joint IBM and Microsoft proposal.
- We are studying how to turn these workflow descriptions
into running systems, automatically.
