....are primarily geared toward control and data flow aspects [Nutt (1993) The notion of commitments finds applicability in some groupware tools. For example, Medina Mora and Cartron (1996) show how the flow of work in an organization is expressed through commitments in the ActionWorkflow tool [Medina Mora et al. 1993)] This tool comes with a fixed set of specifications from which the developer can choose. Although the participants can decide whether a given task was successfully performed, there is no notion of failure recovery, of commitmentsbeing canceled, or of commitmentand cancelation policies. Still, ....

.... 6 Related Work We first discuss work in the literature related to workflow activity models [10] These include active database and rule based approaches [7, 8] multidatabase and relaxed extended transaction model based approaches [14, 1, 15] and office and process automation based approaches [17, 23, 24]. Somewhat less relevant are the many proposals for multi level and nested transaction models [30] A perspective on combining workflow and transaction management was given in [4] Unlike many of these models, we do not view the entire application or the activities in transactional terms, since ....

For instance, these models support the specification of complex intra and inter transaction state dependencies, and correctness dependencies such as ....

.... Computer science research projects and some commercial offerings in the area of workflow management are surveyed in (Mohan, 1994) Some particularly relevant examples are (Leymann and Altenhuber, 1994, Wachter and Reuter, 1992, Hsu et al. 1993, McCarthy and Sarin, 1993, Medina Mora et al. 1992, Medina Mora et al. 1993, Dayal and Shan, 1993, Breitbart et al. 1993) The Object Protocol Model (OPM) Chen and Markowitz, 1994, Chen and Markowitz, 1995, Chen et al. 1994) is well known in the genome informatics field; OPM s workflow meta model (the protocol model ) focuses on workflow modeling for workflow ....
....laboratories must offer the following tools: Workflow Editor A workflow designer needs a graphical editor for specifying the activities and transitions of a workflow. Most workflow management systems offer such an editor. Examples include workflow schema editors discussed in (Hsu et al. 1993, Medina Mora et al. 1993, Szeto et al. 1994, Leymann and Altenhuber, 1994) The editor should support the full capabilities of the workflow metamodel, and should define the database schema for workflow tracking. It should offer hyper links to application program source code and support the attachment of documentation to ....
