Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In a larger-scale context such as that of a workflow system, a mechanism and a set of rules are for looking up a parameter in a hierarchical symbol table. In accordance with preferred embodiments of the invention, the approach is bottom-up, and uses rules defined in an arbitration table to determine a correct version of the parameter. A distributed design is broadly contemplated herein, wherein different symbol tables need not be disposed on one and the same machine. This can permit a greater degree of scalability and error tolerance.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: looking up a parameter at a first symbol table in a distributed network; looking up the parameter at a second symbol table in a distributed network, the second symbol table being disposed at a different location in the distributed network from the first symbol table, the second symbol table being a parent to the first symbol table in a hierarchical relationship; transmitting a message from the location of the first symbol table to th…
