	Workflow Management: Models, Methods, and Systems (Cooperative Information Systems) by Wil Van Der Aalst et al Good customer review on Amazon "Comprehensive introduction to workflow management, the management of business processes with information technology. ... The book provides a basic overview of workflow terminology and organization, as well as detailed coverage of workflow modeling with Petri nets. Because Petri nets make definitions easier to understand for nonexperts, they facilitate communication between designers and users."
	Loosely Coupled, The Missing Pieces of Web Services by Doug Kaye Most of us came to web services via different angles (B2B, Distributed computing, XML ...), Doug's book is the first one I see that paints the complete picture of web services.
