A new release of the YAWL (Yet Another Workflow Language) system is
available.

YAWL (Yet Another Workflow Language) is a workflow language/management
system based on a rigorous analysis of existing workflow management
systems and workflow languages. Unlike traditional systems it provides
direct support for most of the workflow patterns
(http://www.workflowpatterns.com). YAWL supports the control-flow
perspective, the data perspective, and is able to interact with web
services declared in WSDL. It is based on a distributed,
web-friendly infrastructure.
