A workflow management system (WfMS or WFMS) provides an infrastructure for the set-up, performance, and monitoring of a defined sequence of tasks arranged as a workflow application.
International standards[edit] There are several international standards-setting bodies in the field of workflow management: Workflow Management Coalition[1]World Wide Web Consortium[2]Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards[3]WS-BPEL 2.0 (integration-centric) and WS-BPEL4People (human task-centric), published by the OASIS Standards Body.
The underlying theoretical basis of workflow management is the mathematical concept of a Petri net.[4] Each of the workflow models has tasks (nodes) and dependencies between the nodes. Tasks are activated when the dependency conditions are fulfilled. Workflows for people[edit] WfMS allows the user to define different workflows for different types of jobs or processes.
