OSID - osid.workflow.rules.ProcessConstrainerSmartOfficeSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.workflow.rules.ProcessConstrainerSmartOfficeSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Used By	`osid.workflow.rules.WorkflowRulesManager`
Used By	`osid.workflow.rules.WorkflowRulesProxyManager`
Description	This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic catalogs. A `ProcessConstrainerQuery` can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this `Office` to create a virtual collection of `ProcessConstrainers`. The process constrainers may be sequenced using the `ProcessConstrainerSearchOrder` from this session. This `Office` has a default query that matches any process constrainer and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a `ProcessConstrainerQueryInspector`. The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a `ProcessConstrainerQuery`.
