Description
-----------

The Executor acts as a container for 'gCube tasks', i.e. functionally unconstrained bodies of code that lack a network interface
but can be dynamically deployed into the service and executed through its interface. 
It publishes descriptive information about deployed tasks, can execute them on demand on behalf of clients, and can inform clients about the state of their execution.
