Abstract
The design of distributed software systems on the one hand and of workflow management applications on the other hand share a variety of common issues, for instance the modeling of activities, control flow, data flow, and resources. Despite this fact, there appears to be little interaction between the research communities involved. This Minitrack tries to remedy this situation by providing a forum for the discussion of novel approaches to model workflow-aware distributed software systems as well as the design and introduction of workflow management applications, which make use of techniques and tools used in distributed software systems design.
