public interface Task<R>
extends Callable<R>

Interface to be implemented by classes providing some kind of functionality that is supposed to be executed asynchronously by a TaskExecutor. Tasks may implement #hashCode() and #equals(Object) in order to let the task executor recognize multiply-submitted identical tasks. If the same task is submitted several times with different scopes, the task is actually executed only once, but all scopes receive notification about the task's completion or failure.
