RE: SWAP WG Charter -- Second iteration

SWAP working would consider and evaluate other relevant work done
in other working working groups including WfMC. Working Group
consensus will drive which work can be used and not the charter.

Any suggestions/opinons in the group.

|>Description of Working Group
|>
|>There is no standard way to communicate and interoperate across
|>heterogeneous workflow engines in order to coordinate and execute work
|>process instances across those workflow engines. Most of the solutions
|>exist today are vendor specific. This means that Workflow vendors need
|>to support multiple protocols to enable interoperability between worflow
|>systems.
|>
|>The goal of this working group is to develop the goals and
|requirements for
|>Workflow systems interoperability.
|>
|>The further goal is to define an application level Workflow
|Interoperability
|>protocol. Workflow interoperability goals document defines the
|scope of the
|>protocol.
|>
|>
|>Deliverables
|>
|>The final output of this working group is expected to be four documents:
|>
|>1. A workflow interoperability goals document, which describes the scope
|>    and limitations of the protocol.
|>
|>2. A requirements document, which describes the high-level functional
|>   requirements for Simple Workflow Access Protocol, including rationale.
|>
|>3. A scenarios document, a description of how this protocol can be used
|>   effectively.
|>
|>4. A protocol specification, which describes methods, request bodies, and
|>   response bodies, to implement the  Simple Workflow Access Protocol
|>   requirements.
|>
|>Goals and Milestones
|>
|>
|> Oct 98  Publish Simple Workflow Access Protocol goals document
|as Internet
|> Draft.
|>
|> Nov 98  Submit revised versions of Requirements, Scenarios and goals
|documents
|>         as Internet-Drafts.
|>
|> Feb 99  Submit goals document as an informational RFC
|>         Submit revised protocol specification document as Internet Draft
|>
|> Jun 99 Issue WG last call for requirements, scenarios and protocol
|specification
|>
|> Jul 99  Submit requirements and scenarios documents as informational RFCs
|>
|> Sep 99  Submit SWAP specification as a proposed standard
|>
|>Current Internet-Drafts
|>
|> Requirements for Simple Workflow Access Protocol(http://
