Work flow management has gained increasing attention recently as an important technology to improve information system development in dynamic and distributed organizations. To develop a work flow application, selected business processes of an organization are modelled, optimized and specifed as work ow schemas, using work flow languages [2]. Work flow schemas are used by work flow management systems to control the execution of work flow instances, i.e., representations of real-world business processes [3]. The first generation of work flow management systems (WFMS) were developed mainly to model and control the execution of business processes with fairly static structures, to be executed in homogeneous environments. Recently, the need for enhanced exibility of work ow modeling and execution and the integration of applications in heterogeneous environments emerged in the work flow context [1]. The WASA project aims at supporting exible and distributed work flows in heterogeneous environments [4]. This paper briefly overviews the conceptual design and implementation of the object-oriented work flow management system WASA2, and sketches the proposed demo. References to work that relates to ours or that we started from are given in the cited WASA papers.
