TL;DR: In this article, an approach to development of transactional workflow applications and the ability of this way produced applications to concurrently process large number of workflow requests of identical type with high speed is discussed.
Abstract: This invention is about engineering approach to development of transactional workflow applications and about ability of this way produced applications to concurrently process large number of workflow requests of identical type with high speed. It provides methods and articles of manufacture: for graphical development of fully executable workflow application; for producing configuration of class objects and threads with capacity for concurrent processing of multitude of requests of identical type for transactional workflow and for concurrent execution and synchronization of parallel workflow-activity sequences within processing of a workflow request; for application self-scaling up and self-scaling down of its processing capacity; and for real-time visualization of application's thread structures, thread quantity, thread usage, and scaling-enacted changes in threads structure and quantity.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for analyzing business data is described, which includes the steps of identifying a key performance indicator and identifying at least one business event associated with the key performance indicators, and the method further includes the step of receiving a business event message including business data describing the business event.
Abstract: A method for analyzing business data is described. The method includes the steps of identifying a key performance indicator and identifying at least one business event associated with the key performance indicator. The method further includes the step of receiving a business event message including business data describing the business event. The method also includes the step of processing the business data to determine the value of at the key performance indicator, The determined value of the key performance indicator is transmitted to a contextual visualization interface for presentation to a user. A system for analyzing and presenting business data is also described. The system includes a contextual visualization interface and a workflow manager. The workflow manager is in communication with the contextual visualization interface, and is further in communication with at least one application. The workflow manager is operative to receive event data from the application, and the contextual visualization interface is operative to present business information to a user.

TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method for managing workflow including the ability to manage system-level workflow strategy, manage individual workflow activity, and provide suggestions to optimize individual workflow activities is provided.
Abstract: A system and method for managing workflow including the ability to manage system-level workflow strategy, manage individual workflow activity, and provide suggestions to optimize individual workflow activity, is provided. The system may provide suggestions to workers based on their schedules and activities that the workers have to perform. Users of the system may configure the criteria used in determining which suggestions to provide to workers. The system may refine the suggestions provided to workers based on feedback received regarding the suggestions previously provided.
