Abstract
A workflow model is described. The workflow model includes a workflow that includes actual tasks, and a workflow view, or virtual workflow, that includes virtual tasks. Each of the virtual tasks is associated with at least one of the actual tasks. The workflow and virtual workflow are compiled into an aggregate workflow. By implementing the aggregate workflow in a workflow engine, the workflow and virtual workflow are executed concurrently and in synchronization with one another.
