Abstract

Aspects provide for event-driven behavior prediction and include mapping a first data input to a first event of a plurality of pre-defined events as a function of an effective date of the input and identification data that is unique to an individual and a role within an organization. In response to the mapping to the first event, aspects predict (as a function of the identification data, the role and the effective date) that a second event of the pre-defined events that is linked to the first event requires an additional, second data input for the individual that is different from the first data input. Said predicting triggers an automated process that prompts a user to enter the second data input

Claims

1. A method for event-driven behavior prediction, the method comprising:

in response a first data input that comprises an effective date of the input and identification data that is unique to an individual and a role within an organization, mapping the first data input to a first event of a plurality of pre-defined events as a function of the identification data, the role and the effective date;

in response to the mapping to the first event, predicting, as a function of the identification data, the role and the effective date, that a second event of the pre-defined events that is linked to the first event requires an additional, second data input for the individual that is different from the first data input,

triggering an automated process in response to the predicting that the second event requires the additional, second data input; and

the automated process prompting a user to enter the second data input.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the second event of the pre-defined events is linked to the first event as a function of aggregated anonymized organizational data of a plurality of other individuals that are employed within other organizations that are analogous to the organization, wherein confidential data and identification data that identify the other individuals are removed from the aggregated anonymized data.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

mapping the first data input to the first event as a function of a relation of at least one of a salary level of the individual, a job title of the individual within the organization, and a length of time of the individual within the job title at the salary level, to corresponding data within the aggregated anonymized organizational data.

4. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

automatically revising a security setting of an application programming interface of the organization to enable a spouse of the individual to enter the second data input, as a function of recognizing that the aggregated anonymized organizational data indicates that it is likely that the spouse is able to provide a data input response that satisfies a satisfaction threshold of the automated process.

5. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

capturing an event pattern as a function of the identification data, the role and the effective date of the first data input, in view of the aggregated anonymized organizational data; and

the automated process approving entry of the second data item by the user in response to determining that an entry of the second data item does not comprise an exception to the captured event pattern.

6. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

determining whether an entry of response data that is received in response to prompting the user to enter the second data input satisfies a satisfaction threshold specified by the automated process for the response data;

in response to determining that the response data satisfies the satisfaction threshold, closing the linked second event; and

in response to determining that the response data does not satisfy the satisfaction threshold, iteratively repeating the steps of predicting as a function of the identification data, the role and the effective date, that the second event requires an additional, second data input, triggering the automated process in response to the predicting that the second event requires the additional second data input and prompting the user to enter the second data input, until a response data input is received that satisfies the satisfaction threshold.

7. The method of claim 2, wherein the steps of mapping the first data input to the first event, and predicting that the second event requires the additional, second data input, are further a function of geographic indicia of at least one of the individual and the role of the individual within the organization.

8. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

integrating computer-readable program code into a computer system comprising a processor, a computer readable memory in circuit communication with the processor, and a computer readable storage medium in circuit communication with the processor; and

wherein the processor executes program code instructions stored on the computer-readable storage medium via the computer readable memory and thereby performs the steps of mapping the first data input to the first event, predicting that the second event requires the additional second data input, triggering the automated process and prompting the user via the automated process to enter the second data input.

9. The method of claim 2, wherein the first data input further comprises temporal data that includes a date of another data input of another, different second data item that is linked to the effective date as a function of the mapping of the first event to the data input.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising:

closing the second event in response to determining that the temporal data exceeds an expiration threshold of the second event.

11. A system, comprising:

a processor;

a computer readable memory in circuit communication with the processor; and

a computer readable storage medium in circuit communication with the processor;

wherein the processor executes program instructions stored on the computer-readable storage medium via the computer readable memory and thereby;

in response a first data input that comprises an effective date of the input and identification data that is unique to an individual and a role within an organization, maps the first data input to a first event of a plurality of pre-defined events as a function of the identification data, the role and the effective date;

in response to the mapping to the first event, predicts, as a function of the identification data, the role and the effective date, that a second event of the pre-defined events that is linked to the first event requires an additional, second data input for the individual that is different from the first data input,

triggers an automated process in response to the predicting that the second event requires the additional, second data input; and

prompts a user via the automated process to enter the second data input.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the second event of the pre-defined events is linked to the first event as a function of aggregated anonymized organizational data of a plurality of other individuals that are employed within other organizations that are analogous to the organization, wherein confidential data and identification data that identify the other individuals are removed from the aggregated anonymized data.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the processor executes the program instructions stored on the computer-readable storage medium via the computer readable memory and thereby further:

maps the first data input to the first event as a function of a relation of at least one of a salary level of the individual, a job title of the individual within the organization, and a length of time of the individual within the job title at the salary level, to corresponding data within the aggregated anonymized organizational data.

14. The system of claim 12, wherein the processor executes the program instructions stored on the computer-readable storage medium via the computer readable memory and thereby further:

automatically revises a security setting of an application programming interface of the organization to enable a spouse of the individual to enter the second data input, as a function of recognizing that the aggregated anonymized organizational data indicates that it is likely that the spouse is able to provide a data input response that satisfies a satisfaction threshold of the automated process.
