Abstract :
This paper describes a World Wide Web-based workflow management system for a car rental company. Web browsers are the interface between the system and the users. The system consists of two types of tasks: transactional and non-transactional. The transactional tasks are atomic transactions. They can access more than one database. Thus, the system provides atomic operations on multiple databases
