Abstract
A computer-implemented method that includes incorporating an entity specification into a business process in response to an input by a user is described. The entity specification describes an element of a document and is associated with the business process. The computer-implemented method also includes determining a multifunction printer (MFP) from a heterogeneous mix of MFPs for implementation of the business process. The MFP has an associated executable language and a graphical user interface (GUI) specification. The computer-implemented method also includes associating the entity specification with an element of the GUI specification. The computer-implemented method also includes generating, from the entity specification and the business process, an executable that conforms to the executable language and the GUI specification and performs the business process when executed by the MFP. The computer-implemented method also includes deploying the executable to the MFP.
