Windows Workflow Foundation ahead of schedule
MS-Watch | at | by Mike
Stop the presses. Windows Workflow Foundation (WWF), the newest of the next-generation Windows infrastructure pillars, is running early. WWF, Microsoft's combined human- and machine-level workflow subsystem, was expected to debut as part of Longhorn Server in 2007, at the earliest, Microsoft officials said this past spring.
In the past, workflow was a product (in the form of BizTalk Server), and able to facilitate system-workflow interactions only, said Woodgate. But with WWF, workflow becomes a platform that can handle both human- and system-level workflow, Woodgate said.
