  • Patent number: 8543436
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for processing loan applications in dynamic workflows. In a preferred embodiment, a system calls an activity engine with a top-level activity for processing a work-item, e.g., a loan application. The activity engine decomposes the top-level activity into child activities and lower-level child activities, and recursively calls itself to process the child activities until all constituent child activities have been preformed, thus performing the original top-level activity. In the preferred embodiment, each activity, work-item, user, event and role has associated rules, wherein an event represents a change in state of an activity and a role represents a class of users of the system having shared attributes. The evaluation of the associated rules dynamically creates the flow of activities, thereby creating a dynamic workflow.

  • Patent number: 6317742
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and software for installing and operating selected software applications on a client computer that is in communication with a server computer on a computer network are described. In one aspect of the present invention, a method for controlling the degree of access to operating system resources for a software program running on a computer that is running said operating system is provided. The degree of access to the operating system resources is defined for the software program, and at least one file including instructions for executing the software program is loaded on the computer from the server computer. The file is examined to determine the degree of system-level access available to the software program when the software program is being executed by the computer. The software program is executed, and a program instruction associated with the software program is intercepted when the software is being executed on the computer.
