Abstract
In this chapter, we take a step back from the individual applications and software systems and attempt to categorize the types of issues that we are facing today and the challenges we see ahead. This is by no means a complete picture of the challenges but rather a set of observations about the various aspects of workflow management. In a broad sense, we are organizing our thoughts in terms of the different workflow systems discussed in this book, from the user interface down to the execution environment.
