Patent number: 10984360Abstract: Technical solutions are described for execution of a machine-assisted workflow, the workflow including a sequence of workflow steps. An example method includes pulling a preliminary update for the workflow from a data source and modifying the workflow dynamically. The method further includes selecting a workflow step, pulling an updated information for the workflow step from the data source and modifying the workflow step dynamically using the updated information. The method further includes retrieving, from the data source, first preview information, the first preview information indicative of previews of one or more operations from the updated workflow step. The method further includes to the first preview information, executing the updated workflow step. The method further includes accumulating execution information including second preview information based on the execution and pushing the execution information to the data source upon completion of the workflow step.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2019Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Molly Stevens, Kirsten Brunner-McDonald, Charlie Bryant, Philip Siconolfi, Marna Walle

Patent number: 10719795Abstract: Technical solutions are described for machine-assisted workflow execution, the workflow includes a sequence of workflow steps. An example method includes, pulling a preliminary update for the workflow from a data source and modifying the workflow dynamically. The method further includes selecting a workflow step for execution, and responsively, pulling updated information for the workflow step from the data source. The method further includes retrieving, from the data source, first reasoning information being indicative of whether to update the workflow step. If the first reasoning information is indicative of performing an update, updating the workflow step dynamically using the updated information, and executing the updated workflow step.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2017Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Molly Stevens, Kirsten Brunner-McDonald, Charlie Bryant, Philip Siconolfi, Marna Walle

Patent number: 10719365Abstract: Technical solutions are described for a machine-assisted workflow execution. An example method includes selecting a workflow for interactive execution, the workflow includes a sequence of workflow steps, and responsively, identifying a preliminary update for the workflow from a data source. The method further includes authenticating the data source, and if the data source is a trusted data source, pulling the preliminary update from the data source and modifying the workflow dynamically. The method further includes selecting a workflow step for execution, and responsively, pulling an updated information for the workflow step from the data source. The method further includes executing the workflow step using the pulled updated information, the execution including changing a target system. The method further includes accumulating execution information and pushing the execution information to the data source upon completion of the workflow step.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2017Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Molly Stevens, Kirsten Brunner-McDonald, Charlie Bryant, Philip Siconolfi, Marna Walle

Patent number: 10474977Abstract: Technical solutions are described for interactively executing a workflow that includes multiple workflow steps. An example method includes pulling a preliminary update for the workflow from a data source and modifying the workflow dynamically. The method further includes selecting a workflow step, and pulling updated information from the data source and modifying the workflow step dynamically. Further, the method includes retrieving, from the data source, first results information, indicative of results of executing the updated workflow step by other users, and based on the first results information, executing the updated workflow step. The method further includes accumulating a second results information based on the execution of the workflow step. Further, the execution includes pushing the second results information to the data source upon completion of the workflow step.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2017Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Molly Stevens, Kirsten Brunner McDonald, Charlie Bryant, Philip Siconolfi, Marna Walle
