Which contains a list of workflow patterns which they use to compare the expressiveness of different workflow solutions. Finding many of them lacking, they have now gone on to produce YAWL http://www.yawl.fit.qut.edu.au/ which aims to address the shortfalls of the systems they looked at. I found it quite a nice academic approach to a problem which the rest of the industry seems to approach with a lot less rigour.
Zaphod's second head is what you see right before he presses the big blue button (p.s. its under his chin)
Trillian's name has always been Trisha (Macmillan - hence Trillian).
I agree with you, browsers aren't responsible for the sandboxing, and it is Sun's fault for having a buggy plugin. But sandboxing is not a function of the language - it is solely a function of the runtime. I could use a different runtime with the same compiled Java code and not have the problem. Therefore its not a problem with the language.
Checkout Planet Magrathea for a decent repository of HHGTTG news - its run by MJ Simpson, arguably the best source of Douglas Adams info around (including, obviously, info about the upcoming film). Apparently there is a whole lot more material coming out on Tuesday.

When my company, a very small software house, looked into integrating with workflow systems, we quickly came across this site:
e dge.asp, which is similar to YAWL in many ways.

The solution we ended up going with however was Object Connections Common Knowledge http://objectconnections.com/products/CommonKnowl

Its the browser-based sandbox that's the culprit here, not Java. Saying its a problem with Java, is like saying an IE exploit is a problem with HTML.
