Methods and systems consistent with the present invention allow a user to create a storage hierarchy definition in association with a workflow that models a process, to generate a plan from the workflow that reflects an instance of the process, and to generate a container in accordance with the storage hierarchy definition when the plan is generated from the workflow. The container may then be used to store an artifact that is used or produced by the plan in accordance with methods and systems of the present invention.

Methods and systems for auto-instantiation of storage hierarchy for project plan

An optimizer ( ) comprises a memory ( ) and a processor ( ). The memory stores a program ( ) to be optimized and optimization software ( ). Controlled by the optimization software, the processor ( ) (a) determines local vectors (&ldquo;local&rdquo;) in instructions of the program ( ) which indicate the use of resources by the instructions (use-vectors, exh-vectors); (b) scans the program ( ) for Single-Entry-Single-Exit (SESE) structures (U, T, V, S); and (c) determines SESE vectors from the local vectors. The SESE vectors indicate the use of resources by the SESE structures and can be combined by the optimizer to obtain a program vector. When some instructions are modified, then optimizer ( ) only re-calculates the SESE vector of the corresponding SESE and re-combines the old SESE vector with the modified SESE vector to determine a new program vector.
