  • Managing parameter access in a task managing system
    Patent number: 8082544
    Abstract: A number of tasks are defined according to a dependency graph. Multiple parameter contexts are maintained, each associated with a different scope of the tasks. A parameter used in a first of the tasks is bound to a value. This binding includes identifying a first of the contexts according to the dependency graph and retrieving the value for the parameter from the identified context.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 4, 2008
    Date of Patent: December 20, 2011
    Assignee: Ab Initio Technology LLC
    Inventors: Frank Inchingolo, Craig W. Stanfill

  • System for controlling task execution using a graphical representation of task dependency
    Patent number: 7467383
    Abstract: A specification of a graphical representation of task dependency has a plurality of task elements each associated with a different task, a resource element having a plurality of attachment locations, and linking elements coupling the task elements to the resource element at the plurality of associated attachment locations. Associations of task elements to attachment locations on the resource element specify an ordering constraint on the tasks associated with the task elements. The tasks are executed according to the graphical representation of task dependency.
