In this mini game, the player is presented with a grid; the train is in one corner, the destination in the other. Along the side are pieces of track that have to be placed in a specific order to allow the train to reach its destination. Time is of the essence, as the engineer has a schedule to keep, and one piece of misplaced track means the train will likely go off the track. While it seems simple, each level is more difficult than the next, and the addition of various obstacles to go around (mountains, forests, lakes) make the game more challenging.

"Web services combined in composite applications require interoperable mechanisms to set the boundaries of an activity, to create, access, and manage context information and to inform participants of changes to an activity."
Martin Chapman of Oracle, proposed co-chair of the committee, added: "We expect WS-CAF specifications will become the building blocks for other web services standards.
"That's why we're taking an incremental, multi-protocol approach, creating a modular stack of specifications. Instead of mandating a single protocol, we want to offer users the option to implement portions of WS-CAF based on their needs."
The Oasis WS-CAF technical committee promised to accept as input the WS-Context, WS-Coordination Framework and WS-Transaction Management specifications published by Arjuna, Fujitsu, Iona, Oracle and Sun Microsystems.
Although Microsoft is conspicuous by its absence in the group, the committee said: "Other contributions are welcome on an equal basis."
WS-CAF developers also plan to liaise with efforts of the World Wide Web Consortium, including the XML Protocol, Web Service Architecture, Web Service Description, and Web Service Choreography Working Groups.
WS-CAF specifications will provide Web Service Definition Language definitions for context, coordination, and transactions. Message formats will be specified as secure object access protocol headers and/or body content.
