Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with controlling an execution pipeline are described. In one embodiment, a method includes generating an execution pipeline for executing a plurality of tasks. The example method may also include evaluating execution definitions of the tasks to identify execution properties of the plurality of tasks. The example method may also include assigning each task to an execution environment selected from a set of execution environments based upon execution properties of the task matching execution properties of the execution environments. The example method may also include controlling the execution pipeline to execute each task within the assigned execution environments.

Abstract: Control migration of a state machine using a dependency graph interface by: analyzing a state machine to determine objects and dependencies between the objects; generating a dependency graph that represents the objects and the dependencies between the objects, wherein the objects are represented by selectable icons; displaying the dependency graph on a display device; in response to a selection of a particular selectable icon, providing a migration option for an object represented by the selectable icon, wherein the migration option includes at least a selection between either a deep copy or a shallow copy for the object represented by the selectable icon; accepting and storing a selection of the migration option for the object represented by the particular selectable icon; and migrating the state machine to a target environment based at least in part on performing the migration option for the object represented by the particular selectable icon.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with the generation and execution of analytical models are described. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes identifying a selected runtime environment for executing an analytical model that includes analytical expressions. A user-script data structure is generated and provides mapping of the analytical expressions to executable expressions of the runtime environment. A computerized specification object is generated that includes a pre-script data structure, the user-script data structure with the analytical model, and a post-script data structure. The pre-script data structure specifies how the runtime environment is to access input data to be operated upon by the analytical model. The post-script data structure specifies how to output results data, produced by the analytical model, from the runtime environment.
