Design Principles

Assistive not automatedSoftware coordinates, humans executeTrust the humans

Integrated–sometimesHumans want workflow, but in contextNeed backstop for third party systems

Workflow as a serviceSeparated concerns

Architecture

API

API ClientsWhitelisted systems/keysEnd-user agnostic (johnbell@dac, johnbell@lna)

API ActionsTrust the request

Object IDsReference URIApplication URL

Workflows

Workflow Rules

Workflows are linear…but they have logic to trigger other workflows…and can be initiated at arbitrary steps

Workflows are tied to systems…but require a Reference URI to pass between them

Workflows are instantiated …so receipts are kept and notes passed

User Interface

Admin Interface
