WWW Workflows Based on Petri Nets

Workflow management is a topic with both academic and commercial interests. Estimates state that there are more than 250 workflow management systems (WfMSs) (Cichocki et al., 1998). Nowadays, many of these systems make use of the Internet. Most producers of commercial WfMSs do not publish the underlying workflow and execution model. The systems have a proprietary nature.
