Abstract

We demonstrate that the development of interactive workflow applications can be made easier by providing developers with custom user interface components that interpret a workflow task model. This enables occasional developers to create workflow applications by adapting template data objects, template user interface pages, and a template workflow task definition. The resulting interactive workflow system is open to agile adaptation by experienced developers. This is an improvement over existing workflow systems which use workflow task models to create workflow application user interfaces that are difficult to extend.
