Process specification, automatic recovery: concurrency control and heterogeneity among processing entities are known problems of workflow management systems. Dflow provides a workflow specification language which combines the expressive power of a structural programming language with the recovery capabilities of transaction systems. Dflow tries to solve the problems of automatic recovery in its model and the problems of concurrency control and heterogeneity in its architecture.
