Abstract
In this paper we report on our work-in-progress on a new job description language intended for use in a browser-based voluntary computing platform. The language has workflow-control features, will enable the automatic data distribution and allows job creators to react to special events and failures.

- 3.
Probably result of our lack of familiarity with civetweb. Unzipping the archive and parsing took less than 0.003 s per request, the bottleneck was mg_handle_form_request function.

parser+http server is at https://github.com/mkaszubowski/pjdl_parser- parser standalone is at https://github.com/szopeno/pjdl_standalone_elixir.
