ABSTRACT:
A workflow application is represented by a graph comprising a plurality of components, some of which may be processes. At least two of the processes are interpreted according to different respective sets of rules. The sets of rules are implemented in either a plurality of respective navigation engines or in a single engine implementing multiple sets of rules.
