Flow Based Programming

Question

I have been doing a little reading on Flow Based Programming over the last few days. There is a wiki which provides further detail. And wikipedia has a good overview on it

Answer 1

This is what MQ Series, MSMQ and JMS are for.

This is cornerstone of Web Services and Enterprise Service Bus implementations.

Products like TIBCO and Sun's JCAPS are basically flow-based without using this particular buzz-word.

Most of the work of the application is done with small modules that pass messages through a processing network.
