Abstract: A system is described that performs static reconciliation for rendering a graphical user interface (GUI) of an application. The system compiles source code associated with the GUI of an application into rendering instructions for rendering a view hierarchy of the GUI. The view hierarchy defines graphical components of the GUI, and the rendering instructions include initial rendering instructions for rendering the graphical components during an initial rendering of the GUI, and update rendering instructions for rendering a subset of the graphical components during subsequent renderings of the GUI. The system may automatically assign a respective key to one or more of the subset of graphical components, where the update rendering instructions for rendering each of the one or more of the subset of graphical components are uniquely identifiable according to the respective key. The system executes the rendering instructions to update the graphical components identified by the respective key.

Abstract: Implementing a business process management system across an entire enterprise. An exemplary computer-based system for implementing business processes can access data existing on one or more of the computer platforms of an enterprise to implement workflows by a workflow engine. A business process can be broken into business rules that define the process. These business rules can then be categorized into work element categories and translated into workflow elements. Data for supporting the workflow can be identified, including sources of that data within the enterprise. Delegates can be designed to implement each individual workflow element. For example, a delegate can be designed to support the retrieval of data from a computer platform other than the platform hosting a workflow engine. These delegates, which typically comprise XML documents, can be assembled and operated as workflow elements to form the workflow processed by the workflow engine.
