Tom - I'm not clear what is meant by this. Can you add to the explanation of the issue and then assign it back to me please? Thanks. June.

The workflow instance state is superficially similar to the workflow diagram display problem, but the presence of multiple parallel invocations of any given process (or sub-workflow) makes the task harder. In effect it's a selective information reduction task - you want to let the user know what's happening, whether there are failures or critical path type bottlenecks without swamping her in too much information. There's a really hard problem here, with some good intermediate solutions and a really nice optimal solution that's definitely on the research side of things.
