Activiti is a BPM engine, and typical processes include human steps. it includes 'wait states'. Activiti excells when you have a mix of logic (ie the service calls) and human interaction.

If you only have automatic steps in a process, frameworks such as camel, spring integration/batch probably will be easier in use.
