The document discusses intelligent workflow management systems (iWFMS) as an improvement over traditional workflow management systems (WFMS). An iWFMS uses artificial intelligence planning techniques like event calculus to better handle new situations and requirements. It describes an iWFMS developed for HTML form systems using event calculus planning and a hospital drug prescription model as an example workflow. The iWFMS architecture incorporates logic programming to define workflows and handle changes more effectively than conventional WFMS.
