+## Proposal (Workflow State Machine)
+
+### Goal
+To implement
+* Async operations
+* Delayed operations
+* State machine (visual state, animation)
+
+### State Machine Interface
+```
+namespace system
+{
+    interface IStateMachine
+    {
+        func Start() : void;            /* Call to restart, will raise exception during execution */
+        func Stop(ex : string) : void;  /* Call to stop, will raise exception if not started. */
+        
+        func GetIsExecuting() : bool;
+        event IsExecutingChanged();
+        prop IsExecuting : bool {GetIsExecuting : IsExecutingChanged}
+        
+        event OnError(Exception^);      /* The current step goes wrong and continue to wait for more inputs */
+        event OnFatal(Exception^);      /* The whole state machine goes wrong and has to stop */
+        event OnStart();
+        event OnExit();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Syntax
+```
+stateinput <Name>(<Argument>, ...);
+raise statefatal "exception";   /* stop the state machine with a fatal error */
+raise stateerror "exception";   /* redo the current stateinput statement with an error, only available in stateinput statement */
+return;                         /* stop the state machine normally */
+
+/* wait until received expected input */
+stateinput
+{
+    case <Name>(<Argument-Name>, ...):
+    {
+        <Statements>
+    }
+    default:
+    {
+        ...
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Sample (Workflow Script)
+```
+module test;
+using system::*;
+using presentation::controls::Gui*;
+
+interface ICountDown : IStateMachine
+{
+    stateinput BeginCountDown();
+    /* Equivalent to */
+    func BeginCountDown() : void;
+    func GetBeginCountDownEnabled() : bool;
+    event BeginCountDownEnabledChanged() : bool;
+    prop BeginCountDownEnabled : bool {GetBeginCountDownEnabled : BeginCountDownEnabledChanged}
+
+    stateinput CountDown();
+    stateinput DoNotCall();
+    
+    event OnRemains(int);
