The goal of this interdisciplinary workshop is to discuss state-of-the-art and future research directions in workflow and process automation involving information systems. There is significant recent commercial activity on developing workflow tools as well as significant interest in this topic in several fields of computer science. However, the current commercial systems are not poised to exploit even much higher market potential for workflow technology that can support information processing applications within and across enterprises. Guided by an interdisciplinary program committee, the workshop provides a forum for identifying synergy among experts working on the topics of workflow and process automation in information and database systems, distributed computing, and software engineering (including computer supported cooperative work, software process modeling, component-based software development, and business process reengineering). The workshop is expected to cover state-of-the-art in current research and technology, real-world application requirements, existing and emerging standards, and ba sed on these project the future research and development directions. Workshop results will be made broadly available through an NSF report, ACM-SIG/IEEECS-TC publications, and by electronic means. The report will identify the complementary technical issues that are being studied or should be further researched, to enhance information systems that can incorporate intra- and inter-organizational workflows to support information processes in a variety of enterprises in an effective and efficient manner.

这个跨学科研讨会的目标是讨论涉及信息系统的工作流和过程自动化的最新和未来的研究方向。有显着最近的商业活动，开发工作流工具，以及显着的兴趣，在这个主题在计算机科学的几个领域。然而，目前的商业系统还没有准备好开发甚至更高的工作流技术的市场潜力，可以支持企业内和跨企业的信息处理应用。在跨学科计划委员会的指导下，研讨会提供了一个论坛，用于确定在信息和数据库系统，分布式计算和软件工程（包括计算机支持的协同工作，软件过程建模，基于组件的软件开发和业务流程再造）中工作流和过程自动化主题的专家之间的协同作用。 研讨会预计将涵盖当前研究和技术的最新水平，现实世界的应用要求，现有和新兴的标准，并在这些项目的基础上确定未来的研究和开发方向。研讨会的结果将通过NSF报告、ACM-SIG/IEEECS-TC出版物和电子方式广泛提供。该报告将确定正在研究或应进一步研究的补充技术问题，以加强能够纳入组织内和组织间工作流程的信息系统，从而有效和高效地支持各种企业的信息流程。
