Why limit the scope of application artificially?

Axon/Kamaelia imho is perfectly applicable to any kind of application that does some kind of data processing.

You're absolutely right - Axon/Kamaelia hopefully will not just be limited to those areas. It just so happens that those kinds of systems are the underlying reasons why we started building Axon/Kamaelia. That's therefore where we're concentrating our resources at the moment.

Think workflow applications, business applications, application integration...

J. Paul Morrison has used the concept he named "Flow-Based-Programming" for financial applications since the 60's, any control systems engineer knows function-block-diagrams etc. and so on...

We have ... alot! I really do hope that this system is used for more. I'd be very interested to know if anyone has had a go at building any components - for whatever purpose. The potential for component re-use might mean less work for us! :-)
