ABSTRACT
Orc is a new language for task orchestration, a form of concurrent programming with applications in workflow, business process management, and web service orchestration. Orc provides constructs to orchestrate the concurrent invocation of services--while managing time-outs, priorities, and failure of services or communication. In this talk, we give a tutorial introduction to Orc . Despite the simplicity of the language, Orc is able to express a large variety of useful orchestration tasks.
