TLDR
A directed hypergraph model that supports workflow composition and reconfiguration while accessing and executing programs, data, and computing resources across the Internet and synchronous and asynchronous peer-to-workflow interaction between team members and any object in the workflow.Abstract:
This paper introduces a directed hypergraph modelthat supports (1) workflow composition and reconfigurationwhile accessing and executing programs, data, and computingresources across the Internet, (2) synchronous and asynchronouspeer-to-peer interaction between members of anyteam during workflow composition and execution, (3) synchronousand asynchronous peer-to-workflow interaction betweenany team member and any object in the workflow.Given a library of program and data nodes, editing theworkflow and its execution is as intuitive as the hierarchicalschematic design capture and simulation.Examples of multi-sitemulti-user applications demonstrate that the proposedworkflow implementation provides a user-friendly paradigmfor distracted and collaborative team design.read more

Method and apparatus to facilitate development of a customer-specific business process model
Eric Berg,Krishna Kilambi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a business process model is associated with a set of views that illustrate the realization of the business process in the application product, and the model is displayed to the user together with the view set to enhance the user's understanding of the process provided by the application.
Patent
Method and system for leasing storage
TL;DR: In this paper, a method and system for leasing storage locations in a distributed processing system is presented, where a client requests access to storage locations for a period of time from a server, such as the file system manager.

Dynamic lookup service in a distributed system
Brian T. Murphy,Robert W. Scheifler,Zane Pan,James H. Waldo,Ann M. Wollrath,Kenneth C. R. C. Arnold +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, an improved lookup service is provided that allows for the dynamic addition and deletion of services automatically, without user intervention, allowing clients to continue using the lookup service and its associated services while the updates occur.
Patent
Methods, apparatus, and product for distributed garbage collection
TL;DR: In this paper, a process for allocating and deallocating resources in a distributed processing system having a requester platform and a server platform is described, where the process involves receiving a request from the requestor platform referring to a system resource and specifying a requested lease period, permitting shared access to the system resource for a lease period.
Patent
Method and apparatus for dynamic distributed computing over a network
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a homogeneous execution environment within a heterogeneous client-server network, which dynamically downloads code on a compute server, executes the code on the compute server and returns the results to the calling client method.

Petri nets: Properties, analysis and applications
TL;DR: The author proceeds with introductory modeling examples, behavioral and structural properties, three methods of analysis, subclasses of Petri nets and their analysis, and one section is devoted to marked graphs, the concurrent system model most amenable to analysis.
