An asynchronous event whose handler runs only after the
action that raised the event is finished. Also called a "post-event."
Unlike a before event, an after event handler doesn’t terminate the action that
caused the event.

The tiniest component of work in a workflow system. An
action can comprise one or more responsibilities that define work that needs

by protocol users. Additionally, this is a component of work that can be
performed by a workflow and is usually defined in a workflow markup file.
