Adding Distribution to a Workflow Management System

The Workflow Management System AltaVista Works has been extended to be able to process workflows in a distributed, partly even parallel manner. Build-time data are replicated over all participating workflow servers. The distribution of workflow execution is based on migration. Instead of the usual static pre-partitioning, a highly dynamic management of distribution is applied.
