            Abstract : 
Inefficient development of workflow-based applications reduces the benefits from the adoption of workflow technology. In this paper, we propose a new workflow product structure, in which application data are integrated into workflow process models. The new structure can facilitate workflow-based application development, as well as promote application flexibility against process change.
