Embodiments relate to determining a process outcome based on a computed probability and altering the path of a process instance based on an expediting rule. An aspect includes executing, by a processing device, a process instance in a process diagram, which includes a plurality of process steps. A condition associated with a first process step is identified. An outcome for the first process step is then determined based on a computed probability. Accordingly, the first process step is bypassed and the process instance is branched to a second process step based on an expediting rule. The expediting rule includes the condition and a branching action according to a selected outcome.

Expedited process execution using probabilities

An object cache framework client selects a rule-set object in an object cache framework. The rule-set object comprises a rule-set (set of business rules). The object cache framework client evaluates criteria of the rule-set against properties of a plurality of rules engines. The object cache framework client determines if the properties of a rules engine, from a plurality of rules engines, satisfy the criteria of the rule-set. The object cache framework client supplies the rule-set object to the rules engine for execution of the rule-set.
