Dynamic Enterprise Workflow Management

The purpose of this SBIR is to provide an intelligent dynamic workflow management capability that supports reconfiguration of the operations process in near real time without stopping the enterprise. The intent is to provide users with the tools to access information needed to effectively deal with rapidly changing mission tasking. Our approach enables reprioritization of tasks based on manual intervention, changes in the system and data sources, or metadata in accordance with the commanders' guidance. Key features include XML feeds and application server messaging to interface to legacy data sources, utilization of the dynamic workflow of KnowledgeKinetics (K2) and integration of NetOps to provide flexible end to end task management. Building on the Web Logic and NCES infrastructure application services, the integrated workflow capability will enable rapid publishing of information, empower users to pull whatever information they want, clearly identify information authorities, and provide decentralized information management to multiple Communities of Interest (COIs). We will employ web services to enable cross system access to capabilities and to allow data producers and consumers to find each other.
