IMHO workflow approaches tend to be heavy-weight. So, I am hoping
for more light-weight data-flow constructs and mechanisms that
can help with the coordination scenarios I have outlined. Data-flow
constructs and mechanisms have had lots of success in other domains,
and I wondering why can't we (the Heat community) leverage the related
theory and tools!

Thanks,
