ACTIVITY SCHEMES FOR SUPPORT OF KNOWLEDGE-INTENSIVE TASKS
First Claim
1. A system including instructions recorded on a non-transitory computer-readable storage media and executable by at least one processor, the system comprising:
- an activity scheme designer configured to cause the at least one processor to associate an activity scheme with a task of a process model that includes a plurality of tasks, the activity scheme including a directed graph of nodes in which the nodes represent knowledge actions to be performed at least partially by human users, and in which edges of the directed graph connecting the nodes are probabilistically weighted;
a workflow engine configured to cause the at least one processor to instantiate the process model for execution, including associating an instance of the task with a user of the human users, the task instance including instance-specific data associated with completing the execution; and
an activity scheme transformer configured to cause the at least one processor to transform the activity scheme for the user, based on the instance-specific data, a context of the user including applications and information resources available to the user, and a personal profile of the user.

Abstract
An activity scheme designer may associate an activity scheme with a task of a process model that includes a plurality of tasks, the activity scheme including a directed graph of nodes in which the nodes represent knowledge actions to be performed at least partially by human users, and in which edges of the directed graph connecting the nodes are probabilistically weighted. A workflow engine may instantiate the process model for execution, including associating an instance of the task with a user of the human users, the task instance including instance-specific data associated with completing the execution. An activity scheme transformer may transform the activity scheme for the user, based on the instance-specific data, a context of the user including applications and information resources available to the user, and a personal profile of the user.

14. A method including executing instructions recorded on a non-transitory computer-readable storage media using at least one processor, the method comprising:
-
associating, using at least one processor, an activity scheme with a task of a process model that includes a plurality of tasks, the activity scheme including a directed graph of nodes in which the nodes represent knowledge actions to be performed at least partially by human users, and in which edges of the directed graph connecting the nodes are probabilistically weighted; instantiating, using at least one processor, the process model for execution, the instantiating including associating an instance of the task with a user of the human users, the task instance including instance-specific data associated with completing the execution; and transforming, using at least one processor, the activity scheme for the user, based on the instance-specific data, a context of the user including applications and information resources available to the user, and a personal profile of the user. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)

17. A computer program product including instructions recorded on a non-transitory computer readable storage media, which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
-
associate an activity scheme with a task of a process model that includes a plurality of tasks, the activity scheme including a directed graph of nodes in which the nodes represent knowledge actions to be performed at least partially by human users, and in which edges of the directed graph connecting the nodes are probabilistically weighted; instantiate the process model for execution, the instantiating including associating an instance of the task with a user of the human users, the task instance including instance-specific data associated with completing the execution; and transform the activity scheme for the user, based on the instance-specific data, a context of the user including applications and information resources available to the user, and a personal profile of the user. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
