Decentralized workflow management system

A method for providing a decentralized workflow management system both in orchestration or choreography mode, the method comprising:

• determining a business workflow hierarchy comprising activities and tasks, wherein each activity includes a list of tasks to be performed by a component, wherein a set of activities define a high level workflow order among components;
• providing at least one controller component if required, the controller component comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the controller component is configured to organize activities necessary to complete an external request through business process components;
• providing a plurality of business process components, each business process component comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the processor is configured to process a set of business processes and each business process will be executed with a set of pre-injected task instructions;
• and
• providing at least one management console, the management console comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the management console is configured to inject the business process components with responsibility rules and capability rules to perform the external request.

A computer program product for providing decentralized workflow management both in orchestration or choreography mode, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising:

• a set of codes defining a business workflow hierarchy comprising activities and tasks, wherein each activity includes a list of tasks to be performed by a component, wherein a set of activities define a high level workflow order among components;
• a set of codes stored in at least one controller component if required, the controller component comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the controller component is configured to organize activities necessary to complete an external request through business process components;
• a set of codes stored in a plurality of business process components, each business process component comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the processor is configured to process a set of business processes and each business process will be executed with a set of pre-injected task instructions;
• and
• a set of codes stored in at least one management console, the management console comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the management console is configured to inject the business process components with responsibility rules and capability rules to perform the external request.
