Abstract

In this paper we describe the design and implementation of workflow management applications on top of Notes Release 4. We elaborate on various design issues for Notes workflow applications and introduce Notes Release 4's native workflow concepts like agents, events, macros, Lotus-Script, OLE2 capabilities, and doclinks, which make Notes a powerful workflow tool. The idea of the paper is the use of the Workflow Reference Model of the Workflow Management Coalition to define structured workflows, and execute these workflows through the exploitation of Notes Release 4's native workflow concepts.
