Abstract: A method for managing tasks and user operations on media using a model of resources management dealing with the complexity of situation which occur in a production/distributions system is provided. The method is based on a workplace infrastructure, a task-oriented user interface and a work package management system. The method optimizes operations in media production/distribution environment through a workflow-based user interface that handles Work packages, Workplaces, Tasks, Assets and Contents.

Abstract: A simple message mechanism serves to interface applications within content management system. The message management mechanism operates by extracting at least one selected parameter during execution of at least one task (e.g., application) during content workflow. The operator is then notified of whether the at least one task executed successfully in accordance with the extracted parameter.

Abstract: Centralized monitoring of a system, such as a content management system is performed by a monitoring apparatus that stores status information from elements in the system by element according the status information severity. The monitoring apparatus processes the status information for each element in the order of severity by applying at least one user-specified rule to determine whether to generate an alert for such information.

Abstract: An open framework to interface at least one business applications and content management in a media production and distribution environment utilizes a standard messaging protocol and a reliable communication bus. The business application creates a work package in a workflow by sending appropriate messages to a workflow engine. The workflow engine generates a work package template corresponding to the intake work orders at the business application. Devices connected to the communication bus are managed and their respective services are exposed to the workflow engine through the illustrative embodiment of the present principles of managed device interfaces. The work package enables the triggering of a complex sequence of actions via the standard messaging protocol.
