## Abstract

Systems and methods for dynamically modeling a workflow and identifying parameters in a computing environment are disclosed. In some non-limiting embodiments, the dynamic modeling workflow system may include circuitry, such as a processor, that generates the workflow information to be displayed on a display for a user. The workflow information may contain information representing a first actor configured to perform a first operation and having a first output for outputting first data and a second actor configured to perform a second operation and having a first input for inputting the first data from the first output. In addition the workflow information may be configured to provide a visual representation of the order in which the first actor and the second actor perform the first operation and second operation, respectively, and information about the first data. Additionally, the workflow information may include first and second stages representing a first and second steps in the workflow and comprising the first and second actors, respectively. A method performed by the workflow system is also provided.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A workflow modeling system, comprising:
at least one interface configured to output workflow information; and
circuitry configured to generate the workflow information, wherein the workflow information comprises information representing:
a first actor configured to perform a first operation and having a first output for outputting first data,
a second actor configured to perform a second operation and having a first input for inputting the first data from the first output,
wherein the workflow information is configured to provide a visual representation of:
the order in which the first actor and the second actor perform the first operation and second operation, respectively, and
information about the first data.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The workflow system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the circuitry is further configured to receive a user input and provide the information about the first data in response to the user input.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The workflow system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the information about the first data indicates a value of the first data.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The workflow system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the information about the first data indicates a data type of the first data.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The workflow system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the workflow information further comprises information representing:
a first stage representing a first step in the workflow and comprising the first actor, and
a second stage representing a second step in the workflow and comprising the second actor.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The workflow system as claimed in claim 5, wherein the first stage comprises the first actor and a third actor configured to perform a third operation.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The workflow system as claimed in claim 5, wherein the second stage comprises the second actor and a third actor configured to perform a third operation.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The workflow system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the workflow information further comprises information representing a third actor for performing a third operation.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The workflow system as claimed in claim 8, wherein the third actor has a second input for inputting the first data from the first output.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

The workflow system as claimed in claim 8, wherein the first actor has a second output for outputting second data,
wherein the third actor has a second input for inputting the second data from the second output.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The workflow system as claimed in claim 10, wherein the workflow information is configured provide a visual representation of information about the second data.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The workflow system as claimed in claim 11, wherein the information about the first data comprises at least one of a first value of the first data or a first data type of the first data, and
wherein the information about the second data comprises at least one of a second value of the second data or a second data type of the second data.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The workflow system as claimed in claim 12, wherein the information about the first data comprises the first data type of the first data and the information about the second data comprises the second data type of the second data, and wherein the first data type is different than the second data type.

### Claim 14 (depends on 12)

The workflow system as claimed in claim 12, wherein the circuitry is further configured to receive a user input and provide the information about the first data or the second data in response to the user input.

### Claim 15 (depends on 1)

The workflow system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the circuitry comprises at least one processor configured to generate the workflow information.
