Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An approach for composing an analytic solution is provided. After associating descriptive schemas with web services and web-based applets, a set of input data sources is enumerated for selection. A desired output type is received. Based on the descriptive schemas that specify required inputs and outputs of the web services and web-based applets, combinations of web services and web-based applets are generated. The generated combinations achieve a result of the desired output type from one of the enumerated input data sources. Each combination is derived from available web services and web-based applets. The combinations include one or more workflows that provide an analytic solution. A workflow whose result satisfies the business objective may be saved. Steps in a workflow may be iteratively refined to generate a workflow whose result satisfies the business objective.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of generating an analytic solution, the method comprising the steps of: displaying in a user interface a plurality of input data sources and a plurality of output types; receiving, via the user interface, a selection by a user of one of the displayed plurality of input data sources and a selection by the user of one of the displayed plurality of output types; based in part on the selected output type and the selected input data source, executing…
