                           component. Capturing the interaction strategy for a task requires recording the type
                           of actor (system or resource) responsible for initiating the offer, allocation, and exe-
                           cution of a work item corresponding to the task. A work item corresponding to a
                           user task is distributed to a distribution entity, which can be a user, a role, or a
                           resource variable (stored in a net variable) which identifies a user or a role. Dis-
                           tribution filters can be specified for a task based on organizational, capability, or
                           historical expressions that restrict the potential range of user to whom a task may be
                           distributed. There is the option to specify an allocation directive for a task. There is
                           also the option to specify that a user task be distributed to the same user who exe-
                           cuted another task in the same case or to explicitly specify that it not be distributed to
                           the same user who executed another task. Finally, a range of user and task privileges
                           can be specified for a YAWL model that delineate the range of actions permissible
                           by users with respect to task interactions at runtime.
