Abstract

This paper shows how to use workflows to model collaboration in ad-hoc mobile environments. Particularly, it introduces the concept of "active entity", which is a network-isolated subcomponent of a workflow process. This is shown how active entities overcome the challenges of an ad-hoc mobile environment and describes the support required for this workflow extension in terms of lightweight software architecture for mobile devices.
