WF (Workflow Foundation)

.NET에서 WCF와 함께 관심이 가는 것이 WF (Workflow Foundation)인데 말그대로 프로세스를 그릴 수 있는 프레임웍이다.
BPM,Orchestration 등등의 모든 프로세스를 디자인할 수 있는데,
흥미로운것중의 하나가, 이 WorkFlow 디자인 GUI를 떼어내서 다른 툴에서 쓸 수 있다는 것이다.
즉 Custom WorkFlow Designer를 만들 수 있다는 말씀.(Workflow Designer Re-Hosting)이라고 함.
사실 Mesh up 도구나 SDP의 SDE (Service Development Environment)등을 만들때 이 프로세스 디자이너를 구현하는게 꽤나 복잡한 부분인데, 이를 이용하면 해결할 수 있을듯.
