| 30 | * <p>A Process is the description of a task within a workflow. The task may be | |
| 31 | * atomic or composed by several subtasks. It may also be abstract or concrete, | |
| 32 | * depending on whether it only contains semantic information about the | |
| 33 | * task requirements, or it also contains a binding to a specific service (or | |
| 34 | * set of services).</p> | |
| 35 | * | |
| 36 | * <p>By design, processes must be storable in a persistent medium. By making | |
| 37 | * this root interface extend {@link java.io.Serializable}, plain/XML java | |
| 38 | * serialisation, and several ORM systems are supported.</p> | |
| 39 | * | |
| 40 | * <p>Process instances must be thread-safe.</p> | |
