public interface NESTControlflowNodeObject
extends NESTSequenceNodeObject

Interface of a Controlflow-Node of a NEST-graph. Each control flow element in a workflow, such as split/join elements for and/xor blocks, are represented as a control-flow node. The semantic description of a control flow node specifies which control flow element is represented. Data-centric workflows may have no control flow nodes.
