SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COORDINATING COMPUTING FUNCTIONS TO ACCOMPLISH A TASK
First Claim
1. A system for coordinating functions within a computing device to accomplish a task, comprising:
- a plurality of standardized executable application modules (SEAMs), each SEAM configured to execute on a processor to provide a unique function and to generate an event associated with the unique function associated with each SEAM;
a computer readable storage medium having a configuration file recorded thereon, the computer readable storage medium comprising;
a dynamic data store (DDS) and a static data store (SDS),wherein the DDS comprises an event queue and one or more response queues, andwherein the SDS comprises a persistent software object, the persistent software object configured to map a specific event from the event queue to a pre-defined response record, and to assign a response queue into which the pre-defined response record is to be placed; and
a workflow service module, the work flow service module configured to direct communication between the SDS, the DDS and each of the plurality of SEAMs.

Abstract
Systems and Methods are provided for coordinating computing functions to accomplish a task. The system includes a plurality of standardized executable application modules (SEAMs), each of which is configured to execute on a processor to provide a unique function and to generate an event associated with its unique function. The system includes a configuration file that comprises a dynamic data store (DDS) and a static data store (SDS). The DDS includes an event queue and one or more response queues. The SDS includes a persistent software object that is configured to map a specific event from the event queue to a predefined response record and to indicate a response queue into which the predefined response record is to be placed. The system further includes a workflow service module, the work flow service module being configured to direct communication between the SDS, the DDS and each of the plurality of SEAMs.

20. A method for coordinating functions of a computing device to accomplish a task, comprising:
-
determining when an event queue stored on a memory device is empty; when the event queue is not empty, reading an event from the event queue; requesting a response record from a memory location based on the event; storing the response record in a response queue; when the event queue is empty, reading a response record from the response queue; and making a function call to an application identified in the response record.
