Fitting the Workflow Management Facility into the Object Management Architecture

One of the major requirements for an OMG Workflow Management Facility is the definition of a workflow metamodel, which provides the model elements to construct workflow schemas. This paper proposes a layered logical architecture for workflow-management within the Object Management Architecture. In particular, the integration with the OMG Meta-Object Facility is taken into account.
