Abstract: A system and method for employing a number of producer modules to produce and deliver recommendations to a requester. Each of the recommendations having associated therewith a confidence level. Each of the producer modules having associated therewith a weighting value. The confidence levels in each of the recommendations produced by the producers being modified based on weighting value associated with the producer that produced the produced recommendation. The weighing values associated with each of the producer modules being modified based on information from the requester related to the recommendations delivered to the requester.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for structuring database queries. In some embodiment, a method for querying a database to obtain desired information is provided, including forming at least one query of a first query language selected from a set of query languages and based at least in part on a set of constraints of the first query language to obtain at least part of the desired information; and forming at least one query of at least one additional query language from the set of query languages and based at least in part on a set of constraints of the at least one additional query language to obtain at least part of the desired information; wherein the at least one query of the first query language and the at least one query of the at least one additional language obtain at least all of the desired information.

Abstract: A system to identify a markup language file describing a business process, create a mapping of dimensions of the business process to dimensions of a target computing environment, and implement the business process in the target computing system based on the mapping and the markup language file.

Abstract: A system and method in which an implemented business process to model is identified, and one or more markup language files are automatically generated specifying metadata and a structure of the business process.

Abstract: A system using a touch-point specific stub in communication with a stub specific object provides efficient and effective communications between a server operation running the stub specific object and a touch-point running the touch-point specific stub. An On Demand Distribution Service (ODD) distributes the stub to a touch-point and selects and initializes the object such that communications between the stub and the object is established.
