This paper describes WebFlow, an environment that supports distributed coordination services on the World
Wide Web. WebFlow leverages the HTTP Web transport protocol and consists of a number of tools for the
development of applications that require the coordination of multiple, distributed servers. Typical applications
of WebFlow include distributed document workspaces, inter-intra-enterprise workflow, and electronic
commerce. In this paper we describe the general WebFlow Architecture for distributed coordination, and then
focus on the environment for ditributed workflow.
