Stand-alone and Embedded Workflow Management Systems

Overview This paper distinguishes, at a high level, the differences between workflow engines and simple trigger routines. Its main function is to clarify the segmentation between autonomous and embedded workflow deployment.

A workflow management system defines, creates and manages the execution of workflows, through the use of software, running on one or more workflow engines, which is able to interpret the process definition, interact with workflow participants, and, where required, invoke the use of information technology (IT) tools and applications.
