Abstract
In modern society, we are frequently required to perform administrative processes to achieve our personal goals. While the last decade has seen many of these individual processes codified via Web sites, there remain significant problems in discovering and integrating the sets of tasks needed to accomplish these personal goals. This paper introduces Processbook, a social-network-based framework for managing personal processes. Processbook allows users to extract personal process models from online sources, to customise and maintain these models and to share them with other users. It also supports the execution of personal processes, allowing the underlying process model to be adjusted as circumstances change. The paper discusses the rationale for Processbook, describes its overall architecture, and defines the structure of process models.
