> There has been a lot of internal JPL work on flushing out new ideas with the
> workflow manager. One of those new ideas is to explicitly support
> differentiating between different types of
> {code}org.apache.oodt.cas.workflow.WorkflowTask{code} entities, classifying
> them as *sequential* (their current form) versus *parallel* (those that deal
> explcitly with branch and bound). Even though the current workflow system can
> support these activities, they are largely code-based and require
> modification and intrinsic knowledge of the Workflow event system.
> It would be nice to simplify this for the users and allow task.xml,
> conditions.xml and *.workflow.xml files (or explicit WorkflowRepos) to
> support this nomenclature.
> I'll attach a proposed spec of what the updated XML files would look like
> using this paradigm. Then my goal is to take the existing workflow system and
> augment it with this functionality.
