چکیده
This paper describes our experiences from combining workflow management with object technology and expert systems technology. This approach constitutes a powerful integration of business processes, business objects and knowledge bases applicable to a wide range of problem domains. Our experiences with applying this combination in several real world systems show that it can add a new level of support for business processes to the field of workflow management. We also describe how intelligent agents can be used in this context for knowledge management in a large and complex environment.
