Abstract
An interorganizational workflow management system is an efficient tool to manage processes which cross organizational boundaries. We propose a mobile-agent based interorganizational workflow management system. In the system, processes are executed by mobile agents that consist of both definitions and instances of processes and move among relevant organizations. Both the model and structure of the system are given here and an example is used to illustrate the general procedure of the execution of interorganizational processes in the system.
