Abstract
Computer technology for process support using transaction processing has a long tradition, but with mixed results. In a fast changing environment like nowadays, traditional information systems approaches need to be upgraded with workflow management technology. Telework, considered as an innovative work organisation-form for new decentralised organisational structures, further call for the use of workflow management technology. Currently there is no co-ordination-tool with specific planning functionality for this purpose. This paper presents the approach taken to engineering of a workflow management system, supporting the co-ordination of decentralised telework activities through telework activity chain model execution.
