Abstract
A data processing network for processing work items according to a business process has one or more processing boundaries having connection to a data transfer network, one or more communication brokers distributed among and executable on the one or more processing boundaries, and a plurality of electronic queues distributed among the one or more processing boundaries, the queues managed by the one or more communications brokers.
Claims8
A method for configuring and deploying a pre-defined queue network comprising the acts of:
- (a) using an object modeling tool executing from a non-transitory machine-readable medium on a first computing appliance, selecting a set of queues for the queue network from a larger set of pre-programmed queues and instantiating the queue network by creating flow paths between the queues, the queues comprising programmed processes for moving defined work objects sequentially from queue input to queue output, and the flow paths comprising software mechanisms for moving defined work objects from queue output of one queue to queue input of another;
- (b) deploying the queue network defined in step (a) to individual ones of a plurality of processing nodes, each processing node comprising a processing unit and coupled data storage, the processor nodes connected to the first computing appliance by a digital network.
