Do you support the standard "http://www.wfmc.org/"
with your workflow engine?

    1. The diagram "http://www.wfmc.org/standards/model.htm"
    shows the parts where your CMS can cooperate with.

    2. The
    book "http://www.wfmc.org/information/handbook2003.htm"
    and 85 others contain uses cases for this kind of application.

    3.
    How do you think about a cooperation with the tools that can be found by
    the search "http://pharos.inria.fr/Java/query.jsp?text=workflow"
    at Java-Channel.org?

    4. Which conformance level would you like to
    reach?

    About your questions:

    0) OpenFlow does not support the official wfmc standards yet. That said, OpenFlow is strongly inspired by the wfmc
    standards and is not so far from standard conformity. Wfmc Standard conformity is a work to be done (when actually
    needed).

    1) ... (not really a question, is it?) OpenFlow was structured as in the picture (this one and the others) but the interfaces
    (as mentioned in 4 below) are not really conformant and parts are not really so independant.

    2) Any similarity here is purely coincidential.

    3) Cooperation is welcome. I guess you are talking about standards for commiunications between wfms, since OpenFlow
    is implemented in python (and python will stay). Any suggestion for the cooperation?

    4) OpenFlow conformace level to be reached depends on the needs we have in the projects OpenFlow is used into. This
    means a pretty loose conformance until we need to interact with a pre-existing wfms. Or until we get into the above
    mentioned cooperation.

    5. How do you think about workflow modeling patterns? Which of them
    are implemented by your
    software?
