Abstract
Activated workflow engine, system and method are configured for simulation modeling and an integrated suite of relevant applications. The workflow engine pre-configures workflows of the simulation modeling application. When an end user performs a transaction in the simulation model, the necessary and sufficient information is gathered automatically from the context of the transaction. From the gathered information, the activated workflow engine matches appropriate variables and assigns input values to suit the workflows which are applicable to the transaction. This facilitates the ability to invoke multiple workflows associated with this transaction and subsequently validates the 'activated state' of these workflows. When the underlying simulation model or the main transaction is executed, the workflows are activated, the input variables get populated, and the independent workflows get invoked automatically (without requiring manual further input). Results of invoked workflows are available and accessible by users anywhere, anytime.
