Hi Omer!

Have you read these documents? Beacuse I read them, and my point of view 
is, that those problems, what have been investigated by the WfMC are 
general to all kind of worklow, including the scientific Grid 
workflows.Of course, the implementation are focusing on the business 
workflows, but the problems are the same..

Best regards,
Adrian Toth
