Abstract: Methods for packaging a business process model are provided. A processor determines one or more differences between a first business process model and one or more templates. A processor determines one or more paths of workflow for the first business process model. A processor generates a first generated model. A processor generates a matrix based, in part, on the workflow of the first business process model. A processor determines a first component of the first business model to be an input to a second business component. A processor generates a value for an element of the matrix based, in part, on the determined input of the first component. A processor receives a second generated model. A processor determines one or more differences between the first and second generated models. A processor updates the first business process model based on, in part, the differences between the first and second generated models.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for packaging a business process model is provided. A processor determines one or more differences between a first business process model and one or more templates. A processor determines one or more paths of workflow for the first business process model. A processor generates a first generated model, wherein the generated model includes, at least in part, the determined one or more differences and the determined one or more paths.

Abstract: Deploying artifacts and tools in cloud computing environment for provisioning packaged software applications generates a user interface code automatically and dynamically using information from at least structural data representations of cloud computing environment and base configuration requirements for running one or more packaged software applications in the cloud computing environment. In one aspect, the automatically generated code may be augmented using one or more library codes and auxiliary files. Specific configuration requirements are further obtained by running the automatically generated user interface code. One or more components to deploy in the cloud computing environment are determined that meet the base configuration requirements and the specific configuration requirements, by analyzing the structural data representations.

Abstract: Interactive business process modeling and simulation includes generating a business process model including mapping business processes with activities, logical gates, and decision paths of an enterprise. The interactive business process modeling and simulation also includes creating a business process simulation model by assigning a transaction to corresponding activities for business processes in the business process model, the business process simulation model including at least one entry transaction and transaction sequence for each of the activities.

Abstract: Reports to manage service projects may be generated by an automatically generated project report generator software tool. The project report generator software tool is automatically created from an object-based model of work products in a project, wherein the object-based model is executable by a machine and comprises a plurality of work product object and a recording of at least some relationships between the object, wherein each work product object represents a document that contains information about the service project. One or more reports can be generated by the project report generator software tool during the lifetime of the service project, wherein the report is generated using the object-based model and at least some of the information in documents represented in the object-based model.
