This paper describes an approach towards the systematic composition of workflow systems using an event-based approach. The complex nature of workflow systems and the heterogeneity of the application systems which are integrated require powerful general purpose composition mechanisms. Furthermore, it is advantageous if the functionality of the underlying workflow management system can be adapted to the type of workflow applications for which a system is intended. We propose an extensible event-based architectural framework for workflow systems which allows the composition of workflow systems by reuse and customization of reactive components representing workflow system processing entities. We also consider the structure of a build-time repository to support this architectural framework.
