Abstract :
Efforts toward defining a standard for workflow interoperability began in 1994 with the Workflow Reference Model from the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC). From that model other standardization efforts have evolved: from OMG´s jointflow specification to the simple Workflow Access Protocol. The WfMC´s Wf-XML focuses on a simple subset of SWAP for a first version of a standard, with the aim of future extension
