20100088701 | COMPOSING AND EXECUTING SERVICE PROCESSES - A computer-implemented method for automatically and dynamically composing and executing workflow-based service processes may include receiving a request, the request including a user-selected service type, guided by one or more rules for questionnaire creation, dynamically generating a sequence of one or more electronic inquiries in accordance with the user-selected service type, receiving information based on the sequence of the one or more electronic inquiries, based on the information received, creating a goal for the request by constructing logical state representations of a current state constituting a pre-condition of the goal and of a target state constituting a post-condition of the goal and generating a service process by determining a sequence of services which together fulfill the goal, where the services are selected from a plurality of services such that pre-conditions and post-conditions associated with the selected services together match the pre-condition and the post-condition of the goal. | 04-08-2010 |
20110029983 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DATA AWARE WORKFLOW CHANGE MANAGEMENT - A method includes providing a baseline workflow as an electronic representation of an actual workflow, the baseline workflow including baseline tasks, data items, and baseline data scopes, and providing a fragment workflow as an electronic representation of an actual fragment workflow, the fragment workflow including at least one fragment task, and at least one fragment data scope. A baseline data scope is identified as an affected data scope based on a structural change operation, the baseline workflow and the fragment workflow, and the affected data scope is compared to the at least one fragment data scope to identify at least one change operation. The fragment and baseline workflows are integrated based on the structural change operation to provide an integrated workflow, and the at least one data scope change operation is executed to provide at least one integrated data scope in the integrated workflow. | 02-03-2011 |
20110246991 | METHOD AND SYSTEM TO EFFECTUATE RECOVERY FOR DYNAMIC WORKFLOWS - A computer-implemented smart recovery system for dynamic workflows addresses a change to a data object during execution of an instance of a workflow by selectively re-executing workflow tasks that are affected by the change, without cancelling the instance and restarting a new instance of the workflow. A determination of whether a task is to be re-executed during the smart recovery process may include examining a re-evaluation label assigned to the task. | 10-06-2011 |
20120324372 | Systems and Methods for Augmenting Physical Media from Multiple Locations - The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods including providing a data structure stored in computer-readable memory at a first location, monitoring a first work surface provided at the first location, determining that a first physical medium has been manipulated on the first work surface, and, in response, generating a first operation based on a manipulation of the first physical medium, applying the first operation to the data structure. Systems and methods can further include receiving operation and object data from a server system, the operation and object data corresponding to a second operation generated in response to manipulation of a second physical medium on a second work surface provided at a second location, applying the second operation to the data structure, processing the object data, and projecting a first virtual medium on the first work surface, the first virtual medium corresponding to the second physical medium. | 12-20-2012 |
