The Technology Reinvestment Project Support Environment (TSE) introduc
es the notion of ''agent-based workflow'' in order to facilitate vario
us parts of workflow process. Unlike some of the well known groupware
products such as InterNotes or Web Forum which simply provide a passiv

work among participants working on the TRP's ''component based softwa
re engineering environment''.
