Apache Commons SCXML provides a lightweight, embeddable state machine engine which can easily be configured and customized at runtime within your application. 
Since last year the project has been picking up speed with new committers working hard towards a Commons SCXML 2.0 release, targeting full compliance with the latest W3C SCXML specification.

This presentation by Ate Douma, one of these new committers, will give you an overview of the current features and roadmap of Commons SCXML.
He will also discuss typical domains and use-cases for SCXML, and demonstrate how easily it can be used and integrated.

Commons SCXML also is very easy to extend and customize with a clear API and a very modular structure, and you will learn how Commons SCXML works under the hoods.
Finally a demonstration and explanation will be given on using Commons SCXML for a document-oriented workflow engine.
