Abstract: In the implementation of a production process, event data corresponding to a parent event that has triggered an executable business process that has failed is logged. The event data is displayed to a user. Responsive to input from the user, a child event based on the event data is generated, and the child event is submitted to a process engine to initiate re-execution of the executable business process in accordance with the child event.

Abstract: A system for graphically and dynamically configuring an assembly line having process points where events can be triggered, includes: a service configurator for configuring services including imported Web Services; and a process configurator for configuring processes to be implemented in response to triggered events at the process points, wherein each of the processes comprises a sequenced list of the services to be invoked in response to the triggered event.

Abstract: In methods, systems and computer program products for implementing a production process, metadata is received from a configuration system. The metadata represents a production process. An executable application file is dynamically created based on the metadata. The executable application file includes an executable business process.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method, system, and computer program product for providing quality of service guarantees at the application level for clients of application servers. The method includes: receiving a request for a transaction of type k; calculating a throughput rate ?i of each type of transaction i, 1?i?n, in response to the request for the transaction of type k; calculating an average residual time Ri of each type of transaction i, 1?i?n; calculating an average residual time R of a transaction in service; calculating an average waiting time Wk of a transaction of type k; comparing the average waiting time Wk of a transaction of type k to a required average waiting time W{tilde over (k)} of a transaction of type k; and selectively accepting the request for the transaction of type k, based on a result of the comparing step.

Abstract: Under the present invention, a GUI is provided that allows an assembly line to be both graphically and dynamically configured. In general, the GUI allows a designer or the like to “graphically” configure: a hierarchy of categories representing the assembly line; the process points along the assembly line; the different events that can be triggered at the process points; the actions that are taken in response to the events; the processes (sequences of actions) for the events; and the input parameters for the events and the actions. In a typical embodiment, the GUI is maintained on a system that is separate from the central computer controlling the assembly line.
