This position paper describes applications that can benefit from integrated mobile computing and workflow management technologies. Such applications empower a mobile workforce to perform coordinated and streamlined work activities in the field or on the road. We discuss characteristics of these applications and workflow management for supporting these applications. We suggest that mobility support not only extends the application domains of workflow management, but also raises more general issues concerning adaptation paradigms for supporting mobile applications.
