Lifecycle of human tasks

Human tasks support people when they interact with web services or BPEL processes. The interactions that can take place over the lifetime of a task depend on whether the task is a to-do task, a collaboration task, an invocation task, or an administration task. Certain interactions are possible only in certain task states, and these interactions, in turn, influence the state of the human task.
