A computer system for building models of complex business transactions in an information management system. The system includes storage means for storing ordered sets of references to design data, such as entities. The ordered sets, or entity-sets, are assigned a value, and may then be manipulated in a manner similar to a data variable. The references may be ordered in accordance with predetermined criteria, or operator selected criteria.

System and method of constructing models of complex business

A computer system for creating and manipulating subsets of dynamic information systems models of organizations. Generally, the system includes a plurality of dynamicallly linked modelers. The system includes a filter for creating a subset of a model. Each model subset is defined by operator-determined selection criteria. The subset is created by applying the selection criteria to the design data set of the model to be filtered. The resulting model subset may be displayed in a graphical representation. Such representations may enable the user to dynamically interact with the system.

Computer system for creating and manipulating subsets of dynamic

A computer system for creating and manipulating subprocesses in a dynamic model of information management systems of organizations. The system enables a user to 'explode' a process from a graphical representation, or diagram, into its corresponding subprocesses. By performing this process explosion, high-level processes and primitive processes are created. A high-level process is one which has one or more corresponding subprocesses, whereas a primitive process is one which has no corresponding subprocesses. A diagram may then be generated for each primitive process. In addition, the resulting exploded process may simultaneously be displayed with the displayed process from which it is derived. In a similar fashion, subprocesses may be 'hidden' within a process, creating high-level processes from groups of primitive processes.

System for establishing concurrent high level and low level processes in

A computer system for establishing an adaptive window system within a dynamic model of information systems of organization. The system includes a plurality of editors which enable a user to interact with the system. The window system includes predetermined criteria against which design data of one or more of the editors is compared. An options window then displays those options which meet the criteria, generally corresponding to syntactically permissible options, at any time during the model building process.

Adaptive window system for dynamically modeling information systems

A computer system for processing information representative of complex business transactions. The system enables a user to define business logic within a dynamic information management system model. The system may include a plurality of editors which enable a user to dynamically create, analyze and modify design data. The system further includes graphical displays which enable a user to affect the operations to be performed on that design data.

Computer system for defining logical operations on design data including

A computer system for dynamically modeling information systems of organizations. The system includes a plurality of editors which enable a user to interact with the system. Included in the system is an information modeler, an information flow modeler, and a logic modeler for creating, analyzing and modifying design data associated with each modeler. Each of the modelers are dynamically interlinked, such that a change to one design data set will affect a corresponding change in other design data sets. The system includes graphic representations associated with each of the modelers to enable a user to interact with the system. The objects of each of the graphic representations may also be dynamically linked, such that a change in one representation affects a substantially immediate change in other representations.
