Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A middleware system, method and program product for managing workflows among computer applications. The middleware system includes: a common construct unit and a workflow export unit. The common construct unit (i) retrieves a mapping between a component of a macro workflow of the middleware system and a micro workflow component of a first computer application and (ii) executes the macro workflow which orchestrates micro workflows of the first computer application and a second computer application. The workflow export unit generates an output that enables the second computer application to execute a workflow that corresponds to the workflow of the first computer application.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A middleware system for managing workflows among computer applications, the system comprising: a common construct unit for retrieving a mapping between a component of a macro workflow of the middleware system and a micro workflow component of a first computer application for executing the macro workflow, wherein the mapping is a pre-defined mapping scheme stored in a database, wherein the pre-defined mapping scheme is 1:1, 1:N, or N:1, wherein N represents a…
