Abstract :
Currently available workflow management systems lack abilities for supporting interorganizational processes. In this paper, we present an approach to model interorganizational business processes based on the pi-calculus technique. This approach provides a formal foundation for processes with interorganizational interaction structures, appropriate for modeling distributed cooperative workflow systems.
