20120089571 | COMPUTER PROCESS MANAGEMENT - A computer implemented process is defined to operate on three types of objects: Task Objects, Resume Objects, and State Objects. To define a Task Objects are implemented to perform the actions required to complete a particular aspect of the process. A State Object maintains information about the currently executing process, such as the values of variables and the current location in the executing process. A Resume Object directs process execution by specifying which Task Objects or Resume Objects to execute next. A key aspect of the system is the ability to suspend execution at any time and seamlessly resume execution at either the exact point execution was stopped or at any execution point prior to suspension. This accomplished by periodically storing Snapshots of the execution to persistent storage, which can later be used to restore the state of the system to that of the Snapshot. | 04-12-2012 |

The computer process is configured to execute a primary domain operation. The computer process is configured to execute the primary domain operation in a second environment comprising the unique process parameter and a second non-unique process parameter. The unique process parameter is input to the computer process and the primary domain operation is executed with the computer process in the second environment in response to inputting the unique process parameter to the computer process. | 04-12-2012 |
20120203744 | MAINTAINING DATA INTEGRITY ACROSS EXECUTION ENVIRONMENTS - Current computing solutions often involve the sharing of data across multiple computer implemented processes. To ensure data integrity throughout the execution environment, an executing process can make a request for data from a Data Provider. In response to the request, the Data Provider can bundle the data and one or more Validation Objects in a Data Object. The Data Object can be passed between executing processes, and at any point in the execution, an executing process can verify the integrity of the data by making a request to the Data Object. To facilitate the passing of Data Objects throughout a heterogeneous execution environment, a Data Object can create a representation of itself specific to the target system. The Data Objects are advantageous in that all of the necessary validation checks are centralized, thus decreasing maintenance costs and the possibility of error. | 08-09-2012 |
