Abstract
Workflow management helps organizations to organize their work on different activities in such a way that the predictable underlying processes are carried out effectively and efficiently in a distributed environment. We describe a business workflow management system with intelligent multi-agent support in a collaborative organization environment. With the help from multi-agent collaboration, our workflow management system can organize the organization´s work processes and provide resource control, data mediation, semantic mapping, and knowledge visualization processing. Such systems are able to manage the organizational workflow more effectively and more efficiently.
