Preface and Acknowledgements This book introduces social workflows as a new research area for information systems research. Social workflows pervade peoples’ everyday life. Whenever a group of persons works together on a challenging or multifaceted task, a social workflow begins.

Hence, the envisioned social workflow platform enables private individuals to construct social workflows according to their specific needs and to keep track of the workflow execution.

The identified application scenarios cover complex plans and routinely performed activities of private individuals. Thus, this book describes an exploratory research on the application of workflow technology for supporting private processes. Over the past seven years I have received support and encouragement from a great number of individuals. Thereby, I regard the time period when I was a student as well since my doctoral thesis supervisor Ralph Bergmann and my former diploma thesis supervisor Mirjam Minor h
