摘要： A task schedule is enforced among multiple processes by setting process priorities based upon which tasks are running on which processes and based upon the task schedule. The task scheduling may be provided by a local or global scheduler which uses application information to prioritize tasks. The task schedule, or priority list, is provided at Local Activity Schedulers which schedule the activities for their local execution elements/nodes. Execution of activities locally are performed by any number of processes that reside in each execution element. These processes are assigned operating system priorities by the respective Local Activity Scheduler based on their assigned activities for execution and the task schedule.

摘要： A method and apparatus are disclosed for managing composite business processes that include multiple trading mechanisms, such as requests for quotes (RFQs), auctions and contracts, or repeat passes through a single trading mechanism. The independence of the individual business processes that manage each trading mechanism is maintained, while each individual business process can be connected to other business processes to form a composite business process. Each individual business process that may be followed by another business process to form a composite process must have at least one state labeled as a conversion state with a conversion transition to another business process. A conversion transition spans the gap between an end state of one business process and the start state of another subsequent business process. When a conversion state is entered by an object, a determination is made as to whether the object is being managed by a composite flow, and if so, what business process to use next. Conversion transitions execute any necessary steps to create a new object of the type required by the next business process in the composite process.

摘要： A system to enable a subjective and an objective evaluation of supplier performance is provided and includes a commodity/part/supplier search system, a traceability system, an aggregation system, a survey system, an evaluation system, a scoring system, and an alert system to compare the score with the target performance level of the supplier and, if the score differs from the predicted performance level by a predetermined amount, to alert the supplier of the differential.

摘要： A method and apparatus are disclosed for managing access control for a business process that is managed using a state machine. A domain represents the various trading mechanisms that are supported by a business process. Domains are placed at the highest level in a tree structure. Within each domain, there is one or more different flow types defined, such as flow types for buyers and sellers. Within each flow type, one or more flows or business processes may be defined. A flow defines the order of the steps required to produce an object. Each flow typically begins with a mandatory “start” state, having one or more transitions to additional states. Each transition may contain an access control guard. The guards on the transitions leading from the start state can be referenced to determine the user's authorization to access the domains, flow types, and flows. In this manner, the menu of options presented to the user may be automatically tailored to present only those actions which the particular user is authorized to perform. Thus, a navigational tool is provided that presents the various valid choices that are available to the end-user.

摘要： A generic interface between an electronic commerce frontend and a business management backend is provided via an object oriented computer program product. In operation, the program creates one or more specific business objects from a plurality of specific business object classes. The program also provides a framework within which the business objects travel. A first framework instance is coupled to the frontend, and a second framework instance is coupled to the backend. In response to a request from the frontend or backend, the framework instance coupled to the requesting end creates a specific business object to perform the requested operation. Specific Business Objects are derived from a common class containing the methods required by the framework, a specific business object class containing the methods for performing a specific business function (e.g., order, provide production information, etc.), a frontend adapter class containing the methods for mapping data from the frontend to the business object, and a backend adapter class containing the methods for mapping data from the business object to a backend.
