Abstract
The focus of this chapter is state machine workflows. State machine workflows are different from sequential workflows in a number of ways. Most importantly, they don’t define a hardwired sequence of steps within the workflow. Instead, they define a set of application states with possible transitions between states. Each state can handle multiple external events that trigger execution of child activities including a possible transition to another state.
