    • Computer and telecommunication systems employing workflow (contact flow) processes are enhanced by employing dynamic random differential treatment of so-called instances (contacts) entering the workflow (contact flow). This is realized, for example, by associating a prescribed distinguishing function with the workflow (contact flow), and to use a value given by this prescribed distinguishing function in one or more decisions relating to how the object instance (contact) should be processed. Each decision is essentially a choice between two or more paths in a workflow (contact flow), or a choice between two or more workflows (contact flows). For example, the prescribed distinguishing function could associate a distinguishing value having an integer value between 1 and 100 with object instances (contacts), and a selection function for making a decision to use one or more of a plurality of workflows (contact flows) is related to a prescribed parameter “x” that has a value from 0 to 100. For example, each object instance (contact) with a prescribed distinguishing value≦x is routed to a first of the plurality of possible treatments and each object instance (contact) with distinguishing value>x is routed to at least another of the plurality of possible treatments. Additionally, dynamic control is utilized over the parameters employed by the selection function that control whether object instances (contacts) are routed to the first treatment or to some other treatment. For the preceding example, this is accomplished by permitting dynamic control over the value of prescribed parameter x. This dynamic control is effected either manually or automatically. In a particular embodiment of the invention, dynamically controlled differentiation is realized by associating a random number (or other randomly chosen value) with each object instance (contact), and to use this random number in one or more decisions relating to how the object instance (contact) should be processed. That is, a randomized differentiator is utilized as the dynamically controlled differentiator.

    • An object-focused workflow system for processing a received object in accordance with a declarative workflow specification. The specification includes modules and attributes, where module execution results in the evaluation of attributes, and may include the initiation of a side-effect action performed by an external component. Whether modules are to be executed for a particular received object is determined by associated enabling conditions. Attributes may be evaluated in accordance with computation rules and a combining policy, where the computation rules specify how values are to be contributed to an attribute, and the combining policy indicates how those contributed values are combined in order to assign a value to the attribute. Tasks in the workflow system may be executed eagerly in order to improve the performance of the workflow system. The eager evaluation of tasks includes the determination of whether such tasks are eligible for eager evaluation, and whether the tasks are unneeded or necessary for the processing of the received event. Workflows which satisfy described design properties allow for improved algorithms for the determination of the whether tasks are eligible, eager, and/or necessary. A graphical user interface is provided for displaying a representation of the evaluation status of the modules and attributes during workflow execution.
    • 一种面向对象的工作流系统,用于根据声明性工作流规范处理接收到的对象。 该规范包括模块和属性,其中模块执行导致对属​​性的评估,并且可以包括由外部组件执行的副作用动作的启动。 是否为特定接收对象执行模块是否由相关联的使能条件确定。 可以根据计算规则和组合策略来评估属性,其中计算规则指定如何为属性贡献值,并且组合策略指示如何组合这些贡献值以便为属性分配值。 工作流系统中的任务可以被迫切地执行,以便改善工作流系统的性能。 对任务的热切评估包括确定这些任务是否有资格进行热切评估,以及是否不需要任务或处理接收到的事件所需的任务。 满足所描述的设计属性的工作流程允许用于确定任务是否合格,渴望和/或必要的改进的算法。 提供了图形用户界面,用于在工作流执行期间显示模块和属性的评估状态的表示。
