I'm fascinated by REST and I'm fascinated by FSMs (finite state
machines).  I also want to find ways to implement complex processes
in a REST-ful way.  My belief is that a possible path to a solution
for this problem goes through FSMs, specifically translating a
complex business process into an FSM and then implementing the FSM
in a REST-ful style.

So, I've created and documented several models or patterns for
implementing FSMs in a REST-ful style.

The examples are built for and run on top of Quixote.

You can find my document and examples at:

I'm very interested in any comments about whether I have suceeded
in following "the REST way" and in any other suggestions.  Thanks
in advance.
