TL;DR: This paper describes the design and implementation of DartFlow, as well as a workflow application that exploits DartFlow''s agent-based design.
Abstract: Workflow management systems help streamline business processes and increase productivity. This paper describes the design and implementation of the DartFlow workflow management system. DartFlow uses Web-browser embedded Java applets as its front end and transportable agents as the backbone. While Java applets provide a safe and platform independent GUI, the use of transportable agents makes DartFlow highly flexible and scalable. This paper describes the design and implementation of DartFlow, as well as a workflow application that exploits DartFlow''s agent-based design.

TL;DR: Traditional printed conference proceedings and session videotapes are attempts to recapture the value of a live conference, but they are limited both by their delivery medium and by the significant differences from the conference presentation.
Abstract: Academic conferences are a long-standing and effective form of multimedia communication. Conference participants can transmit and receive information through sight and sound, that is, by viewing individuals, text, and graphics and by hearing the spoken word. This same-time, same-place communication is sufficiently valuable to justify large investments in time and travel funds. Traditional printed conference proceedings and session videotapes are attempts to recapture the value of a live conference, but they are limited both by their delivery medium and by the significant differences from the conference presentation. Videoand audiotapes require as much time as the recorded events, while printed proceedings cannot convey the dynamic nature of a conference. But more importantly, they are not integrated with each other.
