SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PARAMETERIZING DOCUMENTS FOR AUTOMATIC WORKFLOW GENERATION
First Claim
1. A method for generating a new workflow for an application, the method comprising:
- generating a parameter tree related to a current workflow, wherein the parameter tree includes a different node corresponding to each parameter included in a document of a plurality of documents associated with the current workflow, wherein each of the plurality of documents comprises one or more functions;
modifying a first value associated with a first node included in the parameter tree based on an input, wherein the first node corresponds to a first parameter included in a first document associated with the current workflow;
wherein a second node included in the parameter tree corresponds to a second parameter included in a second document in the current workflow, and wherein the first node is associated with the second node;
generating the new workflow based on evaluating the second document to produce an evaluated second document based on the first value associated with the first node in response to determining the second node is associated with the first node;
wherein the method is performed using one or more computers.

Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a method for generating a new workflow for an application. The method includes generating a parameter tree related to a current workflow, wherein the parameter tree includes a different node corresponding to each parameter included in one or more documents associated with the current workflow, modifying a value associated with a first node included in the parameter tree based on an input, wherein the first node corresponds to a first parameter included in a first document associated with the current workflow, evaluating a second document associated with the current workflow based on the modified value associated with the first node, and generating the new workflow based on the evaluated second document.
