Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for automated processing of data objects. A system for automated processing of data objects may include a computing unit and a data base containing data objects forming process chains of linked data objects. The computing unit may further comprise a selection module allowing for selection of at least one initial data object, a preparation module for identifying at least one process chain containing the initial data object to be processed and for determining all of the data objects which are linked with the selected data object in causal relation, and a process module for processing the determined data objects and the initial data object. Processing performed by the process module may include resetting the determined data objects, executing the desired processing of the initial data object and recalculating consecutively the determined data objects reset in the resetting step being in causal relation with the initial data object.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for processing data in an automatic data processing system are provided. One or more classes of objects are defined, wherein the classes have one or more methods for performing operations on the objects. One or more objects, each having an identifier within its class, are created of the one or more classes. A tool is created having at least one function for providing an executable solution to the one or more methods of the one or more classes, whereby at least one function is assigned to one or more methods of the one or more classes. The tool is then assigned to one of the one or more objects of the one or more classes by using the identifier of the object.
