Current ofice systems independently manage workflows and personal schedules. However, they cannot be managed independently, because of resource constraints. The "WorkWeb System" is an expanded workflow system that is able to manage and control office resources. The "BPT agent" in the system autonomously manages each workflow process instance, trying to acquire the necessary resources to complete it in time. The WorkWeb System also provides visual interfaces to manage and control office goals and several workflow m-planning algorithms to handle exceptional cases. This paper illustrates how the resource management and work%ow dynamic scheduling are performed, and discusses issues involved with this system.
