The MENTOR Workbench for Enterprise-wide Workflow Management
Summary: MENTOR Workbench enables enterprise-wide workflow management across organizational units and heterogeneous information systems. It uses formal state and activity charts for specification, enabling correctness reasoning and partitioning into subworkflows; runtime relies on standard middleware (TP monitor, CORBA) with bespoke components for scalability and availability.
