Abstract

A system and method comprising, communicating with a first process, wherein the first process is a collaboration process; communicating with a second process, wherein the second process is capable of assembling a first web page and capable of dynamically controlling navigation across a plurality of web pages; updating a first web page to reflect information received from the first process, wherein the updating does not require communication with the second process; and wherein the second process can dynamically change the flow of navigation across the plurality of web pages.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

communicating with a first process, wherein the first process is a collaboration process;

communicating with a second process, wherein the second process is capable of assembling a first web page and capable of dynamically controlling navigation across a plurality of web pages;

updating a first web page to reflect information received from the first process, wherein the updating does not require communication with the second process; and

wherein the second process can dynamically change the flow of navigation across the plurality of web pages.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein:

the communicating with the first process occurs independent of the communicating with the second process.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein:

the communicating with the first process is asynchronous.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein:

the first process and the second process can share information through a shared state.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein:

the first process is a business process.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein:

the communicating with the second process can utilize the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

communicating with a third process, wherein the third process is a collaboration process; and

wherein the communicating with the third process occurs independent of the communicating with the second process.

8. A system for providing a collaboration, comprising:

a client process capable of updating a first web page and navigating to a plurality of web pages;

a first process capable of communicating with the client process, wherein the first process is a collaboration process;

a second process capable of communicating with the client process, wherein the second process is capable of assembling the first web and capable of dynamically controlling the navigation;

updating the first web page to reflect information received from the first process, wherein the updating does not require communication with the second process; and

wherein the second process can dynamically change the flow of navigation across the plurality of web pages.

9. The system of claim 8 wherein:

the communicating with the first process occurs independent of the communicating with the second process.

10. The system of claim 8 wherein:

the communicating with the first process is asynchronous.

11. The system of claim 8 wherein:

the first process and the second process can share information through a shared state.

12. The system of claim 8 wherein:

the first process is a business process.

13. The system of claim 8 wherein:

the communicating with the second process can utilize the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

14. The system of claim 8, further comprising:

a third process capable of communicating with the client process, wherein the third process is a collaboration process; and

wherein the communicating with the third process occurs independent of the communicating with the second process.

15. A machine readable medium having instructions stored thereon to cause a system to:

communicate with a first process, wherein the first process is a collaboration process;

communicate with a second process, wherein the second process is capable of assembling a first web page and capable of dynamically controlling navigation across a plurality of web pages;

update a first web page to reflect information received from the first process, wherein the updating does not require communication with the second process; and

wherein the second process can dynamically change the flow of navigation across the plurality of web pages.

16. The machine readable medium of claim 15 wherein:

the communicating with the first process occurs independent of the communicating with the second process.

17. The machine readable medium of claim 15 wherein:

the communicating with the first process is asynchronous.

18. The machine readable medium of claim 15 wherein:

the first process and the second process can share information through a shared state.

19. The machine readable medium of claim 15 wherein:

the first process is a business process.

20. The machine readable medium of claim 15 wherein:

the communicating with the second process can utilize the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

21. The machine readable medium of claim 15, further comprising instructions that cause the system to:

communicate with a third process, wherein the third process is a collaboration process; and

wherein the communicating with the third process occurs independent of the communicating with the second process.

22. A computer signal embodied in a transmission medium, comprising:

a code segment including instructions for communicating with a first process, wherein the first process is a collaboration process;

a code segment including instructions for communicating with a second process, wherein the second process is capable of assembling a first web page and capable of dynamically controlling navigation across a plurality of web pages;

a code segment including instructions for updating a first web page to reflect information received from the first process, wherein the updating does not require communication with the second process; and

wherein the second process can dynamically change the flow of navigation across the plurality of web pages.
