Asynchronous UIMA (workflow) ?

[Thomas Francart]

Hi all - I'm thinking about whether or not it would be possible to add an asynchronous step in a UIMA pipeline ? For example having an analysis engine that would ask for a user input or a user review of a CAS, or something like that. Well my point is that at some point in the pipeline, I would like a user to review the state of the CAS, maybe add some more information, delete some others, and so on; and then the rest of the pipeline would continue upon user validation. (by "user" here I don't mean someone that sits in front of a computer and watch the UIMA processing taking place, but maybe someone receiving an email saying "hey, you should have a look and validate that"). I know this a generic workflow question, but I was just wondering if some other people had the same question/requirements with a UIMA integration, and if you had some ideas on how it could be adressed/solved.
