Windows Workflow Foundation and Windows Communication Foundation

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is Microsoft's forthcoming
framework for creating service-oriented applications. Implementing a
large group of industry-standard web services specifications, WCF
allows developers to create applications that communicate securely and
reliably both within the Windows world and across vendor boundaries.
Given this, WCF and WWF are a natural combination. While WCF focuses
on building services, WWF allows creating workflows that use those
services to support business processes. Although the web services
support in WWF's first beta release relies on ASMX, WWF activities
that let workflows use this new communications infrastructure will be
available in the future.
