RULE-BASED ELECTRONIC WORKFLOW PROCESSING

A workflow processing system may receive a representation of one or more objects corresponding to the current state of a workflow. A rule may be mapped to one or more activities of the workflow. The rule may comprise an any-of clause, an all-of clause, and a none-of clause. Each clause may contain zero or more conditions that are evaluated with respect to the current state of the workflow. When each of the any-of, all-of, and none-of clauses evaluates to true, the rule may be satisfied and the activities to which the rule is mapped are performed.
