Abstract
One aspect of the invention provides an HTTP based extensible protocol supporting a subset of the workflow object names and definitions of the OMG workflow protocol. HTTP is a synchronous communication interface. The HTTP based protocol can communicate across the Internet, traversing firewalls. Workflow applications requiring such traversal could then be built and readily integrated into the enterprise side workflow systems built with the OMG workflow protocol and CORBA.
