I am looking for a list of current workflow languages. I know about BPEL, WS-CDL and YAWL. What other current languages are there? A short description of how they operate would be excellent. All suggestions welcome.

Thanks!

You could try Cameleon: http://www.shinoe.org/cameleon which seems to be simple to use. Its written in C++ but can call any type of local or distant programs writen in any programming language.

It has a multi-scale approach and seems to be turing complete (this is a petri net extension).
