Zusammenfassung:Various technologies for integrating workflow services are described. In accordance with one described embodiment, an integrated workflow services system includes a host process, such as a Windows(R) application program. The host process hosts a workflow foundation runtime engine for executing workflows and a workflow foundation library. A workflow executable by the workflow foundation runtime engine may include an activity (e.g., a policy activity) that defines a ruleset that includes a number of rules (e.g., business rules). At least one rule of the ruleset is defined directly against the workflow. Furthermore, the activity has access to a rules engine capable of evaluating rules in the ruleset.
