Flows

It would be nice to have a mechanism to create multi-task simulations. This can be a simple language to compose TaskGenerators inspired by BPMN gateways.

It could include:

• Then for sequence
• And for parallel
• All for multiple parallel tasks
• Or for inclusive or (run both events, proceed when either completes)
• Cond for selection based on a given condition (but what would that condition be? is there a use case for this?)
• NoTask or similar for doing nothing
• Wait for another simulation??!

It should be easy to compose the futures returned from SimulationActor.task().

We might need an implicit conversion from TaskGenerator to Flow. The hard part is making sure we run ready() at the right time(s).

We should subclass a FlowSimulationActor.

Everything should go under a new com.workflowfm.simulator.flows package.

Maybe conditions can be of this type: (Task, Long) => Boolean

But what if your Cond is the very first thing happening?
