- improve performance (fast as TBB - if possible)
        - lockfree-fifo, -lifo and -priority queue
        - check work-stealing algorithm
- check for raise conditions
- get framework interface stable as possible
- timeout of task execution (meaning if task could not be finished until a 
certain time has reached the task gets canceld -> should be possible via 
Anthonies future lib)

currently not :(
