摘要:
Work items are collected from one or more work item providers for presentation to a workflow participant. A work item provider is typically a workflow management system (“WFMS”), but other providers of work items might exist that generate work items and may or may not have their own local worklist. Multiple independent WFMS's of multiple types might provide work items to a universal worklist (“UWL”) service that integrates the work items from all of the providers. Additional integration might be provided between the UWL and work item providers, such as for controlling work item execution with a sub-workflow through an ad-hoc workflow engine. Additional integration provides for custom attributes. Each work item has a type that is used to determine handling for that work item. A universal work list service includes storage for work items, wherein a work item represents a task generated as part of a process flow. An engine supporting the UWL service might track item types for work items and might obtain attribute values for attributes of the work item according to the work item's type.
摘要:
In a structured workflow system, a configurable workflow engine provides mechanisms for executing and scheduling the work items in a defined way. End users use their discretion and define their own “local” processes and “local” rules for processing work items, or deviate from predefined processes. The configurable workflow engine might be installed at a server to organize workflows and business processes where end users can define processing steps for incoming work items by setting up rules and defining workflows as part of a local workflow structure. By defining these rules and workflows, the further processing steps of future incoming work items can be automated. When an administrator directs the workflow engine to move from a current phase to a next phase, the workflow engine deals with the incomplete items by allowing the administrator to carry over work items (or might do it automatically). End-user consultation might be included in the carry-over decisions. The carried over work items are added as parallel activities to the next phase. The workflow engine handles imposing and executing control flow dependencies between tasks, thus providing a smooth transition from totally unstructured work to semi-structured or completely structured work. When the workflow engine encounters semantically correlated work items/tasks, the process engine assumes that these work items/tasks belong to the same process instance.

摘要:
In a computer system wherein messages are transferred between participants, at least some of which are human users of the computer system using the computer system in furtherance of work projects, and wherein a workflow system handles task-based operations in a structured environment, tasks embodied in messages are handled as tasks in the structure environment by transforming messages into workflow items. One embodiment provides for sending a message from a sender to a user computer system; upon review of the message at the user computer system by a user, accepting input from the user representative of a trigger for transforming the message content to a workflow object, wherein the workflow object is a structured representation of one or more tasks to be performed by one or more assignees including linkages between tasks; following a trigger for transforming, accepting user input as needed to obtain task-related information other than information present in the message; once the user input is obtained, generating one or more workflow objects for tasks representing by the message; and providing the one or more workflow objects to a workflow system for workflow handling.

The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for providing an extensible plug-in architecture for enterprise mashup applications. One process includes operations for receiving a chip definition associated with a chip instance to be instantiated. The new chip instance is instantiated, with the chip instance being associated with a portion of user interface (UI) content. At least one extension is determined to be associated with the chip instance based on the received chip definition. The chip instance is provided access to at least one method associated with an implementation of the at least one extension. Further, communication between the chip instance and a runtime environment through the implemented methods of the at least one extension is enabled.

A filter for purifying gas mixtures containing particulates, in particular exhaust gases of internal combustion engines containing soot. The filter has a porous wall made of a filter base material through which the gas mixture to be purified flows. A surface coating of ceramic fibers is applied to the surface of the wall which is exposed to the flow of the gas mixture to be purified. The ceramic fibers are coated with nanoparticles. Furthermore, a method for manufacturing such a filter.
