Supporting repetitive operations within an operating system

A computer program product for operation management, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform a method comprising:

• intercepting, by a processor, a sequence of data elements related to an interaction between a user and a user interface of a computer system that includes the processor;
• identifying, by the processor, atomic operations within the sequence and metadata associated with the atomic operations;
• calculating, by the processor, correlation indexes from the metadata, wherein a respective correlation index is calculated for various atomic operation groups formed from the atomic operations;
• and
• identifying, by the processor, a macro operation from at least one of the correlation indexes, the macro operation including multiple correlated atomic operations from among the atomic operations identified within the sequence,
• wherein at least some of the correlation indexes are calculated between an output of a respective one of atomic operations and an input of another respective one of the atomic operations.

A computer processing system, comprising:

• a processor, configured to:
• intercept a sequence of data elements related to an interaction between a user and a user interface of a computer system that includes the processor;
• identify atomic operations within the sequence and metadata associated with the atomic operations;
• calculate correlation indexes from the metadata, wherein a respective correlation index is calculated for various atomic operation groups formed from the atomic operations;
• and
• identify a macro operation from at least one of the correlation indexes, the macro operation including multiple correlated atomic operations from among the atomic operations identified within the sequence,
• wherein at least some of the correlation indexes are calculated between an output of a respective one of atomic operations and an input of another respective one of the atomic operations.
