1. WHAT IS Jflow

Jflow is a fully scalable Javascript workflow management system. All existing Workflow Management Systems have 
their own user interface and can hardly be used as components of an existing web project. Nowadays, in order to 
provide access to new tools, it is quite common to implement a web portal that wraps the execution of the given 
software package. We describe jflow which includes on one hand the core of the WMS able to execute workflows 
defined by a set of components, and on the other hand a fully scalable jquery plugin able to request the jflow 
REST API.
