1. A method for workflow decision management, the method comprising:
- maintaining a device state history;
identifying a device usage pattern in dependence upon the device state history;
identifying a derived scenario in dependence upon the device usage pattern;
selecting a heuristic in dependence upon the derived scenario;
wherein the heuristic has a tolerance;
identifying a workflow in dependence upon the selected heuristic; and
executing the workflow in dependence upon the tolerance.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for workflow decision management. Embodiments typically include maintaining a device state history; identifying a device usage pattern in dependence upon the device state history; identifying a derived scenario in dependence upon the device usage pattern; and selecting a heuristic in dependence upon the derived scenario. In typical embodiments, the heuristic has a tolerance. Embodiments also include identifying a workflow in dependence upon the selected heuristic and executing the workflow in dependence upon the tolerance.
