Appl. No.:

11/697926

Inventors:

Juliana Freire - Salt Lake City UT, US
Claudio Silva - Salt Lake City UT, US
Steven Callahan - Bountiful UT, US

Huy Vo - Salt Lake City UT, US

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00

US Classification:

705008000

Abstract:

A method of and a device for supporting a collaborative workflow process that includes a plurality of workflows are provided. A first modified workflow process is received from a first device at a second device. The first modified workflow process is created by modifying an evolutionary workflow process. The first modified workflow process is compared with the evolutionary workflow process to identify a first identifier associated with an action included in the first modified workflow process and not included in the evolutionary workflow process. If the identified first identifier is included in the evolutionary workflow process is determined. If the identified first identifier is included in the evolutionary workflow process, a second identifier is defined. The defined second identifier is associated with the action. The second action is added with the associated second identifier to the evolutionary workflow process stored in a first memory accessible using the second device. A map associating the first identifier with the second identifier is stored to a second memory accessible using the second device.

US Classification:

705009000

Abstract:

A method of and a system for presenting a plurality of workflows that describe an evolutionary workflow process associated with creating a result are provided. A first workflow is received at a first device. The first workflow comprises a first module which applies a first instruction to form a first result. A modification of the first workflow is received at the first device. The received modification includes a second workflow which includes a second module that applies a second instruction to form a second result. The evolutionary workflow process is presented to a user at a second device. The evolutionary workflow process includes the first workflow and the second workflow and indicates a parent-child relationship between the first workflow and the second workflow.
