  • Publication number: 20110153051
    Abstract: The invention provides improved methods and apparatus for workflow editing. Such methods and apparatus permit, for example, user-defined and/or other tasks to be combined in any combination or combinations to specify a workflow. The tasks can be linked for direct, serial processing and/or for conditional processing that includes branching and/or looping. The invention also improved methods and apparatus of workflow definition and processing with extensible actions. The invention provides, further, improved methods and apparatus for workflow definition and processing which utilize workflow variables for communication of data and control information among tasks within a workflow. The invention provides, still further, improved methods and apparatus of workflow definition and processing with enhanced messaging.

  • Publication number: 20100088104
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for real-time data notification. In accordance with one implementation, a computerized method is provided that includes defining an event related to a resource in accordance with input from a first subscriber, and allowing a second subscriber to subscribe to a message concerning the event defined by the first subscriber. The method also includes receiving data generated by a reporter module, the reporter module being configured to monitor at least one attribute of the resource, and interpreting the data generated by the reporter module to determine the occurrence of the event defined by the first subscriber. In addition, the method includes delivering, when it is determined that the event has occurred, a message to the first subscriber, the message including content concerning the event. Additionally, the message concerning the event may be delivered to the second subscriber.
