22 Sep 2015TL;DR: In this paper, a workflow management system for managing the storage, retrieval, and transport of items in a warehouse includes a voice-directed mobile terminal and a server computer in communication with the mobile terminal.
Abstract: A workflow management system for managing the storage, retrieval, and transport of items in a warehouse includes a voice-directed mobile terminal. The system also includes a server computer in communication with the voice-directed mobile terminal. The server computer includes a tasking module for transmitting task data to the voice-directed mobile terminal. The server computer also includes a workflow-analysis module for generating, based at least in part upon an analysis of workflow dialog between the voice-directed mobile terminal and the user, performance data relating to the performance of tasks associated with the storage, retrieval, and/or transport of the items.

TL;DR: This paper proposes a single-objective workflow scheduling optimization approach called DCOH (deadline-constrained cost optimization for hybrid clouds) for minimizing the monetary cost of scheduling workflows under deadline constraint and a multi-objectives workflow scheduling Optimization approach called MOH (multi-Objective optimization for hybrids clouds) that both consider makespan and monetary cost simultaneously.

TL;DR: In this paper, the illustrative embodiment of the present discloses a method of providing a secure environment during the use of electronic documents and data, where authenticated users are able to access, act upon and sign, via a secure connection, a workflow object that is stored on a remote server.
Abstract: The illustrative embodiment of the present discloses a method of providing a secure environment during the use of electronic documents and data. Authenticated users are able to access, act upon and sign, via a secure connection, a workflow object that is stored on a remote server. The workflow object includes a sequence of action items, the steps in a workflow, and includes documents or references to documents required by the workflow. Also included in the workflow object is an Access Control List ( ACL ) which specifies which users can access which documents at which times. Each document has its own ACL which allows the access of each document to be specified independently from other documents at a given time. The documents may be encrypted and decrypted using a variety of methods designed to enhance security, including the use of digital signatures. Once a document is decrypted ( if encrypted), the user performs a task specified in the workflow using the decrypted document. The workflow is updated to reflect completed tasks, the document may be electronically signed, and the altered document is then re-encrypted.

TL;DR: A Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging workflow was defined, which participants had to either simulate or run in order to produce some provenance representation, from which a set of identified queries had to be implemented and executed.
Abstract: The first Provenance Challenge was set up in order to provide a forum for the community to help understand the capabilities of different provenance systems and the expressiveness of their provenance representations. To this end, a Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging workflow was defined, which participants had to either simulate or run in order to produce some provenance representation, from which a set of identified queries had to be implemented and executed. Sixteen teams responded to the challenge, and submitted their inputs. In this paper, we present the challenge workflow and queries, and summarise the participants contributions.
