Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The subject disclosure is directed towards a web service that maintains a set of models used to generate plans, such as vacation plans, in which the set of models includes models that are authored by crowd contributors via the service. The models include rules, constraints and/or equations, and may be text based and declarative such that any author can edit an existing model or combination of existing models into a new model. Users can access the models to generate a plan according to user parameters, view a presentation of that plan, and interact to provide new parameters to the model and/or with objects in the plan to modify the plan and view a presentation of the modified plan.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. In a computing environment, a system, comprising: an authoring tool, implemented on at least one processor, configured to allow one or more authors from among crowd contributors to author a model containing one or more of the following: rules, constraints, and equations, the model configured to: generate a plan comprising plan objects; and obtain the plan objects for the plan based on one or more of the following: the rules, the constraints, and the equat…
