Abstract: A method is provided for validating trustworthy data in a computer system which comprises a distributed repository network, a client system coupled to the repository network and a server system coupled to the repository network. The trustworthy data comprise data sets which are stored in a memory device of the first server system. A validation query message is generated on the client system, which validation query message is stored in the repository network and transferred to the server system. The server system transfers the validation query message for response to a trustworthy software component, which is executed in a trustworthy and secured environment of the server system. The trustworthy software component generates a validation reply message, which is stored in the repository network and transferred to the client system.

Abstract: A method is provided for securely executing a workflow in a computer system which comprises at least a distributed repository network and a number of client systems that are operatively coupled or operatively couplable to this repository network. A model of the workflow is stored in the repository network. The workflow model comprises a number of workflow steps, and execution conditions, events, tasks and notifications are stored in the workflow model for each workflow step. To execute the workflow, a workflow instance is generated from the workflow model and is stored in the repository network. The client systems execute the workflow instance stored in the repository network.

Abstract: A system and method for enhance planning concepts by adding High-Mix Wheels to the feature set of existing SAP ERP/SCM system landscapes and may also combine planning concepts with an automatic material resource planning (MRP) and capacity resource planning (CRP) logic enhanced by factoring algorithms. This is the first time that MRP, CRP and factoring against constraints can be done in one single planning step, enabling better and faster planning results. Extreme tight integration of planning optimization based on Lean paradigm is provided that may include enhanced Lean Planning algorithms that extend rhythmic planning.
