Publisher's Synopsis
Sebastian
Görg introduces social workflows as a new application domain for Process-Aware
Information Systems and draws the design of a social workflow platform that
enables private individuals to make use of workflow technology in their
everyday lives. Whenever a group of persons works together on a challenging or
multifaceted task, a social workflow begins. In textual form, such social
workflows are already described and shared in various Internet communities
which provide experiential knowledge for achieving different goals, in areas
like home repair, vacation trips and computer troubleshooting. The envisioned
platform enables its users to construct social workflows according to their
specific needs, to share them with a community and to keep track of the
execution.
