  ' Task specifying an architecture for submitting a job for asynchronous processing.  This architecture
  ' can be used for jobs that may take a long time to process.  Once operation input is submitted via
  ' the task's interface, the job is started and a response is returned to the client immediately, 
  ' allowing the user to submit additional jobs.  In progress jobs are indicated via a task result node.
  ' Job status checking is managed by JavaScript timeouts that issue callbacks to the server.
