چکیده
Unified Modeling Language (UML) defines a standard notation for object-oriented systems. Using UML enhances communication between domain experts, workflow specialists, software designers and other professionals with different backgrounds. UML can be used on a general level, which is intuitive for the users of workflow systems.

This position paper explains how to use UML for specification of workflow management systems, how to trace the description of business processes to the objectoriented software design and how to structure the project repository with UML deliverables.
