Abstract :
Automated workflow systems do not yet adequately address information mobility or tasks disconnected from the rest of a business process. While the current Web infrastructure lends itself to disseminating information, it also inhibits the decentralization of process definitions and their execution required by workflow systems. The Micro-Apache Generic Interface which is based on the popular Apache HTTP server, is an architecture that can overcome some of these limitations
