  • Patent number: 9053437
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for extracting information through analysis of provenance data. For example, a computer-implemented method of extracting information regarding an execution of an enterprise process comprises the following steps. Provenance data is generated, wherein the provenance data is based on collected data associated with an actual end-to-end execution of the enterprise process and is indicative of a lineage of one or more data items. A provenance graph is generated that provides a visual representation of the generated provenance data, wherein nodes of the graph represent records associated with the collected data and edges of the graph represent relations between the records. At least a portion of the generated provenance data from the graph is analyzed so as to extract information about the execution of the enterprise process based on the analysis.

  • Publication number: 20150128034
    Abstract: A method of case management includes receiving a plurality of previously executed case instances, receiving a selection of current case attributes and at least one candidate case outcome during runtime of a currently executing case instance, and generating a visual representation of case distributions using the previously executed case instances. The visual representation depicts a correlation between the current case attributes and the at least one candidate case outcome, and is generated using analytics applied to the plurality of previously executed case instances.

  • Patent number: 8595042
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for capturing, storing, querying and analyzing provenance data for automatic discovery of enterprise process information. For example, a computer-implemented method for managing a process associated with an enterprise comprises the following steps. Data associated with an actual end-to-end execution of an enterprise process is collected. Provenance data is generated based on at least a portion of the collected data, wherein the provenance data is indicative of a lineage of one or more data items. A provenance graph that provides a visual representation of the generated provenance data is generated, wherein nodes of the graph represent records associated with the collected data and edges of the graph represent relations between the records. The generated provenance graph is stored in a repository for use in analyzing the enterprise process.

  • Publication number: 20130086125
    Abstract: Receiving from each of a plurality of low level monitor models an outbound event comprising information associated with a respective data source. The information received in each of the outbound events can be collected to a global monitoring context in which the information is automatically aggregated. Via a global cube associated with the global monitoring context, the information can be presented in a report. At least one new outbound event can be received. The new outbound event can include updated information associated with at least one of the data sources. Responsive to receiving the new outbound event, the information presented the report can be updated in real time to reflect the updated information.
