摘要： Systems and methods are provided for customizing workflow in a condition based health maintenance (“CBM”) system computing node. The computerized method comprises identifying a first standardized executable application module (“SEAM”), wherein the first SEAM is configured to generate a first event associated with particular data being processed by the first SEAM and identifying a second SEAM, wherein the second SEAM is configured to generate a subsequent event associated with the particular data processed by the first SEAM. The computerized method further comprises creating a quasi-state machine associating a unique responses to the first event and associating a unique responses to the subsequent event, and installing the quasi-state machine into the SDS of the computing node from which the workflow service state machine retrieves the one or more unique responses from the quasi-state machine to the first event for processing by the second SEAM to produce the subsequent second event.

摘要： Systems and Methods are provided for coordinating computing functions to accomplish a task. The system includes a plurality of standardized executable application modules (SEAMs), each of which is configured to execute on a processor to provide a unique function and to generate an event associated with its unique function. The system includes a configuration file that comprises a dynamic data store (DDS) and a static data store (SDS). The DDS includes an event queue and one or more response queues. The SDS includes a persistent software object that is configured to map a specific event from the event queue to a predefined response record and to indicate a response queue into which the predefined response record is to be placed. The system further includes a workflow service module, the work flow service module being configured to direct communication between the SDS, the DDS and each of the plurality of SEAMs.
