Abstract
Nowadays application systems are modeled in object-oriented design languages like the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Although workflow management has to deal with such environments, typically propriatory modeling languages are used. We try to remedy the use of seperate languages by proposing an extension of the UML to allow workflow modeling, thereby providing a seamless integration of workflow functionality in object-oriented application systems.
