Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for workflow decision management. Embodiments typically include maintaining a device state history; identifying a device usage pattern in dependence upon the device state history; identifying a derived scenario in dependence upon the device usage pattern. In typical embodiments the derived scenario has a tolerance. Embodiments also include identifying a workflow in dependence upon the derived scenario; executing the workflow in dependence upon the tolerance; and identifying a user reaction to the execution of the workflow.
Claims27
A method for workflow decision management, the method comprising:
- maintaining a device state history;
- identifying a device usage pattern in dependence upon the device state history;
- identifying a derived scenario in dependence upon the device usage pattern;
- wherein the derived scenario has a tolerance;
- identifying a workflow in dependence upon the derived scenario;
- executing the workflow in dependence upon the tolerance;
- and
- identifying a user reaction to the execution of the workflow.
A system for workflow decision management, the system comprising:
- means for maintaining a device state history;
- means for identifying a device usage pattern in dependence upon the device state history;
- means for identifying a derived scenario in dependence upon the device usage pattern;
- wherein the derived scenario has a tolerance;
- means for identifying a workflow in dependence upon the derived scenario;
- means for executing the workflow in dependence upon the tolerance;
- and
- means for identifying a user reaction to the execution of the workflow.
A computer program product for workflow decision management, the computer program product comprising:
- a recording medium;
- means, recorded on the recording medium, for maintaining a device state history;
- means, recorded on the recording medium, for identifying a device usage pattern in dependence upon the device state history;
- means, recorded on the recording medium, for identifying a derived scenario in dependence upon the device usage pattern;
- wherein the derived scenario has a tolerance;
- means, recorded on the recording medium, for identifying a workflow in dependence upon the derived scenario;
- means, recorded on the recording medium, for executing the workflow in dependence upon the tolerance;
- and
- means, recorded on the recording medium, for identifying a user reaction to the execution of the workflow.
