Abstract

Systems, methods and computer program products are disclosed that provide an enterprise componentized workflow application (ECWA). In some embodiments, the system includes self-contained components configured for process management, each component including a processor, a memory, and a set of instructions stored in the memory. The loosely-coupled components, with encapsulation, are plug-in configurable, JMX controlled, and throttle and safety enabled. Each component receives a responsibility injection and a capability injection, defining roles and abilities for the components, in order to accomplish business processes. The components define independently-deployed system nodes connected via communication conduits. The ECWA components provide an environment for decentralized workflow management that extends the BPMN model. The system unifies flow-oriented modeling and context-oriented architecture. As a result, the ECWA is appropriate for complex environments due to its flexibility, high processing efficiency, and unifying development cycles. The ECWA may be useful in developing artificial intelligence programs or other complex systems.
