Abstract
A computing device receives information describing one or more workflow components. The computing device determines whether at least one executable step can be determined for each of the one or more workflow components. The computing device provides an indication of whether at least one executable step can be determined for each of the one or more workflow components.
Claims20
A method for determining executable steps corresponding to one or more workflow components comprising:
- receiving information describing one or more workflow components;
- utilizing natural language processing techniques to analyze each of the one or more workflow components in order to determine whether at least one executable step can be determined for each of the one or more workflow components;
- and
- responsive to determining that at least one executable step cannot be determined for each of the one or more workflow components, displaying a visual indication in association with each of the one or more workflow components for which at least one executable step cannot be determined, and transmitting a request for further information describing each of the one or more workflow components for which at least one executable step cannot be determined.
A computer program product for determining executable steps corresponding to one or more workflow components, the computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer-readable storage devices and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more tangible storage devices, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to receive information describing one or more workflow components;
- program instructions to utilize natural language processing techniques to analyze each of the one or more workflow components in order to determine whether at least one executable step can be determined for each of the one or more workflow components;
- and
- responsive to determining that at least one executable step cannot be determined for each of the one or more workflow components, program instructions to display a visual indication in association with each of the one or more workflow components for which at least one executable step cannot be determined, and program instructions to transmit a request for further information describing each of the one or more workflow components for which at least one executable step cannot be determined.
A computer system for determining executable steps corresponding to one or more workflow components, the computer system comprising:
- one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to receive information describing one or more workflow components;
- program instructions to utilize natural language processing techniques to analyze each of the one or more workflow components in order to determine whether at least one executable step can be determined for each of the one or more workflow components;
- and
- responsive to determining that at least one executable step cannot be determined for each of the one or more workflow components, program instructions to display a visual indication in association with each of the one or more workflow components for which at least one executable step cannot be determined, and program instructions to transmit a request for further information describing each of the one or more workflow components for which at least one executable step cannot be determined.
