  • System and method for business process space definition
    Patent number: 7055109
    Abstract: A method and system for representing business processes such as in a workflow model. Each of a plurality of processes is defined as a 3-tuple including a noun, a verb and an attribute, and a selected process is displayed as a point in navigation space. In this manner, business processes are classified and organized in terms of a 3-dimensional process navigation space facilitating process identification, decomposition and definition by traversal of this space.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 9, 2001
    Date of Patent: May 30, 2006
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Edward Barnes Boden, Dennis Gregory Geiser, Frank Vincent Paxhia

  • Method and apparatus for building and running workflow process models using a hypertext markup language
    Patent number: 5930512
    Abstract: Apparatus and computer implemented method for process modeling using both a web server and a workflow server in process definition. During buildtime, a process definition in the language of some workflow process modeler is fed to transform f(p), which provides a translate process definition into a hypertext markup language (HTML) representation of the workflow process. A user utilizing the facilities of an HTTP server may operate a web browser to request that HTTP server provide the HTML process definition to enable the user to create, or read and modify, the process definition as desired. The result is then fed through an inverse transform f'(p) to a workflow server in the language of that server, for invocation and execution during runtime of the programs defined during buildtime.
