With the advent of modern wireless communication techniques, mobile devices play an increasingly important role in our daily life. Users often use these mobile devices to record and retrieve information about tasks and data. In fact, many of people¡¦s daily activities are not independent, and they are likely to be process-oriented. Previous work reported in [Chen01] used metagraph to model user¡¦s activities and proposed a client-server architecture of personal workflow system for supporting pervasive computing. This architecture allowed users to define their personal processes and provided a set of operations for manipulating them. However, the proposed system is passive in that it did not provide any support to help mobile users construct their personal processes, nor did it provide friendly query interface for users. Our work aims at constructing a personalized workflow template provider and providing a user-friendly interface design. The personalized workflow template provider intends to provide personalized workflow templates of organization-driven processes. Users with different backgrounds and interests may retrieve different personal workflow template to accomplishing the same goal. In client side, we provide five pre-defined queries for mobile user can efficiently inquire a personal process and design a better interface for a mobile user to browse his/her personal processes. At last, we implemented these two components and evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed design strategies.
